On Wednesday, March 19, Myers first graders took a field trip to the Oregon Zoo. Since the students have been studying maps they brought along their highlighted zoo maps to be sure they saw all the animals on their list. Each group of students had met prior to the trip to plan which animals they wanted to see and mark their route. The first graders carefully studied their maps and were able to use their new found map knowledge to easily find their way. A wonderful time was had by all! Thanks to all of the amazing volunteers - you are the BEST!Wednesday, March 19, 2008
