The boys go on their first field trip

The boys went on their first fourth grade field trip...all 3 boys!  Benjamin, Emerson, and William!

It wasn't the ideal weather for an outside field trip.  It was a bit...wet!

Anthony and William, two of my students, absolutely adopted Benjamin.  They stayed by his side the entire time.  Our first activity was touring a native American village...actually a re-creation of one.

Emerson warmed up after a little bit, and then it was 'the guys'! 

William preferred the dryness of his BOB!

Inside a native American family home, the boys were peeking through the boards to see outside. 

After touring the Native American village, we went on a hike...

 

A hike through the forest...in the rain!  No problem for the boys, though.  Someone from the previous group loaned them an umbrella.  Brady and Anthony - and some of the other boys - made sure they kept the umbrella over their heads.

William stayed dry in the BOB and his mama, my Lindsey, kept, well, sort of dry...

After the hike, we had lunch in a covered area...

Peanut butter and jam sandwiches... always a good lunch!

The bathroom was the next stop for Benjamin...Emerson came along too!

 Our third activity was making these necklaces.  They're made out of dentillium shells, beads, and a piece of abalone.  Here, Emerson is modeling his... I helped him make his...

 Lindsey helped Benjamin make his...

 The girls took over entertaining the boys.  They were having their picture made with Emerson...

Then Benjamin joined in the fun!

What a fun day!  The boys...their first field trip!
