Saturday was a hot and beautiful winter day! It was also the day that Brody's 2nd grade class from HTeNC, put on their Science Exhibition. We took a field trip to the San Dieguito River Park and Crest Canyon back in October. The kids got to learn about the animals and plant life that exist there. Since then, they were each able to pick one of the animals that use this habitat and do a report. It was done really well. Ms. Lee, the teacher, picked animals in A-V order (That's all that are in the class...). Brody picked "Anna's Hummingbird". The kids all lined up along the Grand Ave pier that extends into the lagoon, in front of their posters and gave their reports on their findings.
Not only did they have to report on their animal(s), they had to sketch the animal(s) as part of the art portion of the assignment. Brody's Hummingbird was so awesome. He picked the Hummingbird because it is so colorful! Lots of families, teachers and even a camera crew came and listened to all the kids' reports. It was so neat! And because it was such a beautiful day, we also got to see so many of their animals out and about in and around the lagoon. That made it extra special.
Ms. Lee and the nice Ranger we so pleased with how well the kids did, that the kids artwork and reports will be featured in the official pamphlets put out by the Coast to Coast Trail/San Dieguito Park group.
What a cool way to learn science, actually out in the field! I love that he gets to learn this way! And I am so proud of him and the great job he did! Way to go Brody!
I took a video of him giving his presentation, and when I figure out how to convert it, I will get it loaded up!
