We all had a great time on our first field trip! We had absolutely perfect weather for our walk to the Howard Miller Library and the kids were such troopers -- it's a long walk!
When we got to the library, Miss Jessica, the children's librarian, gave us a tour and showed us how the library system works. Then we went upstairs and she read us a story and let us decorate bookmarks to take back to school.
Finally, Miss Jessica talked to us about how to choose "just right books" and she showed us where to find them in the library. We have been practicing this skill a lot within our classroom library, so it was nice to have a refresher and practice picking out books in the big library.
This is the chart that we made for our classroom -- it helps us remember how to find books that are good for us to read:

After spending some time curled up with just right books in the library, it was time to say goodbye and head to Captain Sundae! We enjoyed the sunshine, the company, and the ice cream (!) before walking back to New Groningen to finish our school day.
A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Lencioni, Mrs. Stevens, and Mr. Emmons for coming with us on our first field trip!
