Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

"I Do Not Like Eggs and Peanut Butter"
I would not like them with a dog.
I would not like them on a log.
I could not eat them with a pig.
I could not eat them wearing a wig.

I do not like them on a monkey.
I do not like them with a donkey.
I will not eat them at a barn.
I will not eat them on a farm.

Second Graders Have "Wild" Time at the Zoo
Recently, the 2nd graders went on a field trip to the Santa Ana Zoo. While there, they toured the grounds. Some of the animals they saw were monkeys, birds, ostriches, llamas, and a hog. It was amazing to see the animals up close! The students' favorite part of the field trip was when they went into the classroom to dissect owl pellets. They were able to see what owls eat. Many students found tiny bird and rodent skulls, body parts, and teeth. Everyone had a great day at the zoo!
