We went on a Field Trip with IGNITE (that's the name of our co-op). IGNITE has a motto that is a quote by William Butler Yeats. It says "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." Watching our boys enjoy learning is testament that this quote is true.
On our field trip we went to the Martin Park Nature Center in OKC.
We started by eating lunch together.
As soon as we started walking there were huge fish and turtles. We could have stayed there all day.
Inside the park there is an information center that has shells, fish, and information specific to nature in Oklahoma.
At the beginning of the walk each student received books to document the animals and other things they saw.
Micah and Nathan really enjoyed drawing the different things.
The adventure of day was getting a pregnant woman and two young boys across the creek with out getting wet.
There was a tree house that over looked a pond and the creek.
On our way out, we found a snake in a tree. We stayed long enough to take a picture.
We had a great time exploring and learning as a family.
