Oakland Zoo

Field trip; Reminders

Tuesday, February 5th is our fieldtrip to the Oakland Zoo. Thanks to our parent drivers: Anna, Arlene, Bill, Dave and Kevin.

Thanks also to the many other parents who volunteered to drive. We still have two more field trips that we will need drivers for,
February 27th, Jr. Center of Arts and Science
April 3rd, MLK Regional Shoreline

Students should bring bag lunches clearly marked with their names. If all possible please send a drink that does not require a straw, plastic twist top containers are preferred. This is for the safety of the animals at the zoo. You can also include a quick snack like a fruit or granola type bar, something that can be eaten quickly if your child might become hungry before we start our program at 9:30 am.

They should dress warmly and in layers. It can be cold and foggy at the zoo even when the sun is shining elsewhere. Time will be spend both indoors and outdoors so they should wear comfortable shoes that will stay on their feet. Let’s pray for a sunny day, but if not raincoats should be sent as we will do at least one outdoor activity.

I’ve already told the children that we will not go on the rides. We will also not go to the snack bar or gift shop so additional money is not necessary.

We’re looking forward to a great trip to finish off our Animal Camouflage unit!
