Sea Life Arizona Field Trip

The kindergarten classes went on their first field trip today. We went to Sea Life Arizona in Arizona Mills Mall. It was a great field trip!

We had several parents volunteer as chaperons for both classes. We were able to give each parent 2-3 students to take through the aquarium. We all, adults and children, enjoyed looking at the many varieties of sea life. There were several rooms of aquariums of various sizes. There was also a play area for the children to get the wiggles out before going back to see more of the wonderful displays.

We sat in a small theater where a video explained the upcoming changes to Sea Life. A sea turtle called Ziva is coming soon! The film explained how Ziva was injured, how she was saved and how she will be transported to Sea Life. She will be the first sea turtle in the state of Arizona!

After eating lunch at the food court, the students returned to the aquarium for a short while, then it was off to the buses to go back to school. Many of our favorites were: the shark, the manta rays, the sea horses, the puffer fish, the star fish and the "Nemo" fish.

Everyone was given a free ticket to go back after the first of the year to see Ziva in her new habitat. We are all looking forward to going again to meet Ziva.
