Day 125

Today was such a fun day for my 2nd graders (and me!)  We traveled to Clanton, AL and our first stop was the Alabama Power Water Course. We learned all about the importance of water to our state specifically, water conservation and water safety.
                                  We played a game cleaning out the rivers with robot claws

                                                 Took a virtual tour of Mitchell Dam

                                                        Played a water trivia game

                                            Toured Alabama's waterways via helicopter

                                                   Saw a few fish native to Alabama

                                     Then it was on to Sunshine Farms...(how cute is this guy?)

                                 Where we learned about strawberry growing and harvesting

                                      2 of my precious guys looking for some good ones :)
                                  We ate plenty right off  the plant while filling our buckets

                                    Then it was on to the tractor ride to tour the peaches

 We all got a peach to take home and a bucket of strawberries. I've already used some in some muffins I'm bringing on tomorrow's field trip.

                                                                          YUM!
