On Friday we had a field trip with the FSGA Forestry Department. This was a unique field trip as they came to us! The gentlemen from the Forestry Division brought snakes, gopher turtles and an alligator. We had presentations on the various habitats found in Georgia, adaptations of animals and plant life as well as endangered species found in Georgia.
We partnered with Mrs. Vaeth's class for the presentations. Mrs. Turner was asked to show the gopher tortoise to the classes. As she brought around the gopher tortoise, we all had the chance to touch it. The students were allowed to touch the alligator...don't worry, it's mouth was taped shut. We think the alligator was having a good time because it looked like it was smiling! Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Turner also had the opportunity to hold the alligator. Mrs. Zeiglar, Mr. Carrier, and Mr. Wasdin came down to see the critters and as you can see from the photos, they also held the alligator.
