So many field trips, so little time.

Wow - just got another confirmation back - we got selected to go to the Woodland Park Zoo!

I know, it's not as competitive as the 826Seattle, but here's the good news:  They are donating the field trip to us as well!  On top of that - they are even paying almost 100% of our bus and chaperone costs!


I'm not sure if you've looked at the Zoo ticket prices lately, but it's $17.50 for adults and $11.50 for kids.  Just calculating ticket prices - and overlooking the personal educator that gives us a great tour - it would be over $350 just in admission.  Then, there's the bus cost of approximately $200.

I don't have the *exact* amount calculated  yet, but it should only cost approximately $1.50-$2 per student and chaperone - total, including admission, bus, and educator tour.

What a great way to end our Animals unit!  I love hands-on learning!!
