Trip to Prospect Park Zoo on Monday, November 10, 2008

Schedule:

• 9:30 Meeting Time: Please be outside the main entrance of the school. Our class
will aim to be downstairs at approximately 9:45 a.m.

• 9:45 Departure: We get on the bus. You can help by reminding the children that they are
to sit with their partners and by buckling seatbelts.

Since so many of you generously volunteered, I was able to make partnerships for this
Trip. I will let you know your group when we get settled on the bus.

• 10am-11am Walk the Discovery Trail – We will start out together but feel free to take your
pair and explore at your own pace. If you finish the trail before 11, please feel free to explore the other areas like the zoo, such as the indoor baboon area, barn, etc.

• 11am Lunch. Meet at the Sea Lion café area. Weather permitting we will all eat lunch outside at the tables. The children all have bagged lunch in their backpacks. I have baby wipes, and hand-sanitizer. There is a water fountain nearby if children are thirsty. Please know that our classroom policy is that we do not share food. If your pair of children finishes early, feel free to walk them around some more, or take them to the bathroom.

• 11:30am: Sea Lion feeding at the Sea Lion Court.

• Noon: Feel free to explore a bit more with your group. If your pair of children is feeling a bit tired, let us know. In that case, we will have them sit down at the stairs by the entrance and I can read them a story.

• 12:30: Meet back at the zoo entrance and get on the bus.

• 1 pm: Return to School. Please help me line up outside the school. We will say farewell to you then.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on the bus on our way there.

Please note: In an effort to ensure a positive experience for all, I ask that parents do not make purchases for children on school field trips.

I am looking forward to this fun trip!

If it is pouring rain…..the trip will be postponed and will then be re-scheduled.
