Field trip day to our local museum.
We are fortunate to have fossils at our museum.
I thought we had dinosaurs but learned today that
the Elasmosaur that was discovered locally is not a dinosaur
but a marine reptile.
There are great exhibits of other dinosaur fossils at our museum
and we had fun exploring them all.
Before we went I created a booklet of items to be searched out.
Plus a little magnifying glass (a borrowed idea from a colleague - thanks Colleen).
The booklet gave the children a focus and
helped them looked more closely at each item in the displays.
We finished with a snack and story.
My voice is still just a bit more than a whisper
so one of the dad's volunteered to read the story.

It was great! I love how he emphasized certain sounds. |
Pete the Cat also came to enjoy the museum and here are a few of his favourite displays.
A dino smaller than himself.
A sea turtle to ride on.
But his favourite was this BIG fish, mmmmm!
