Our fieldtrip to the park planned for Friday, May 30th was delayed because of the thunderstorms. So we went instead on Monday, June 2. We had many parents, grandparents and baby brothers and sisters come with us to celebrate science with a picnic in the park. We used our balance and motion on the playground equipment, tried flying kites but there wasn't enough wind, and we caught and released many different types of insects.
