We had a wonderful field trip to Barr Lake. Each group was guided on a nature walk with a Barr Lake Naturalist. One group was extremely excited to have Mr. Bob lead their group. He does such a great job relating it to their level. We were blessed to have the rain hold out until we were back at school. I tried to capture the incredible day in the photos below.


Thank you Mr. Bob and all the amazing chaperones.












Toby, Faith and Alijah are enjoying all the birds in the Nature Center. Mr. Bob was able to push some buttons so everyone could hear what the birds sound like. (The students were surprised at which birds make quiet sounds)








Ms. Vigil's group was awesome...they caught a toad even before getting to the field to sweep for bugs!


Cailyn and her dad Mike had a great time at Barr Lake! They were in a group that got to take their own pictures as they explored.


The sand pit just might have been the biggest hit of the day. The students enjoyed making houses, tunnels, and burying one another.

Everyone loves Mr. Bob :)
