It's a Safari for the Senses!

We made it!  Our long walk to our first field trip was certainly an adventure!  We weren't exactly sure what to expect, but I think we were all pleasantly surprised.  Traveling from station to station and learning about animals from around the world was like being on a real safari!  Check us out here with this ferocious wolverine!   


Who knew that hippos are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa?  They are very aggressive and can eat over 150 pounds a night!  Look, there's one now about to devour one of our friends!?!





What was your favorite part of the experience?!?  Mine was definitely the walk there (just kidding)!  Which animal was the most interesting?  Were there any facts that totally shocked you?  Let me know so we can remember and enjoy our wonderful journey at the Sensory Safari!

We Have Fudge-a-mania!!!

I'm so glad we started our year off with Fudge-a-mania, as our read aloud.  I remember reading Judy Blume books when I was in the third grade, so it has been wonderful for me to get a chance to revisit an old favorite!  I thought you might be wondering more about the author, Judy Blume.   She sure does a great job making us laugh and beg for more each day!  

Well, I looked about and stumbled onto her official webpage.  Click here to read about her inspiration for many of her best books!  I hope you enjoy this site as much as you seem to be enjoying her book!  What has been your favorite part of Fudge-a-mania so far?  Has anyone taken the initiative to start reading more Judy Blume books?  Let me know!  Keep on reading!
