Field Trip!

Here is a look at all the fun things we got to see at WSU on Friday.  I was very proud of our class.  They listened well, asked thoughtful questions and were very respectful, responsible and safe on our field trip.  Great job!

 We started our day by visiting the art museum.  They were featuring exhibits about biodiversity.  That's a big word, but we learned all about it and how living things are different and how important that is to our world.

 We inspected the art and asked questions...



 Next, we took a tour around the whole campus.  We saw many old and new buildings.  Our legs were TIRED from all the walking, but the exercise kept us warm since the wind was a bit chilly!

 We were amazed to see that the student center had real restaurants.  Like Pizza Hut and Chick-fil-a!


 There was even a bowling alley in the basement.
 So cool!

 We heard about many myths and legends that surround different statues and areas on campus.  Like, if you step on the shamrock near the engineering building, you will marry an engineer!



Abstract art in front of the library.  We thought it looked like a saddle.


The new construction on the student center...
We got to visit the arena where the Shocker's play.  It was so awesome and HUGE!  




At the end of our day, we heard a college student speak about what college is.  It was fun to see that in college you need to read and do math.  Just like we are learning to do right now!

It was a great day.  I had never been on the WSU campus, so it was a learning day for me as well!
