Earl Boyles 3rd Graders had a wild time at the zoo today.  The weather was beautiful and we had a great time on our visit to the Oregon Zoo. We were so proud of the kids and how they conducted themselves while we were there.  They will be very tired tonight after all of the walking that we did today.  Here are just a few pictures from our trip.

Animal Research

We are so excited for the Zoo Field Trip tomorrow!

In Room 1, almost all the students have finished researching their animals and completing their slides.  Nearly all have given their presentations to the class.  Several have even finished compiling their information into their research papers!

Here is a snippet from a few student's collection of slides:


Kaylie's Habitat slide about Polar Bears


David's Predators and Behavior slide about Rhinos



Jose's Fun Facts slide about Pythons


Ask your child which animal they studied and if they can tell you any fun facts about it!

Hi Families! Next Thursday, May 12th all 3rd grade classes will be headed to the Oregon Zoo for a field trip.  This excursion is linked to our animal research projects that all students are currently working on in their classroom.  We will leave school at 9:10 so please make sure your child is on time to school that day.  If you have not yet paid the $4 entrance fee for your child please do the as soon as possible.  On the day of the trip it will be important for your child to dress in layers.  The zoo is quite shady and can be very cold.  Comfortable shoes are a must as we will be doing lots of walking!  We'll eat lunch at the zoo and return to school around 2:00.

Meet "Rick" the Red Tailed Boa Constrictor

Thank you to Logan and family, for introducing students to Rick, the Red Tailed Boa Constrictor! We learned all about a boa's habitat, physical characteristics, behavior, and many fun facts about this 7 foot reptile! Rick is a very mellow guy, and was a class pet for many years before being adopted by Logan's family. Some of his favorite activities are taking baths, watching TV, hanging out with his family, and dining on (dead) rat once a month.
