The life cycle of a mosquito is egg, larva, pupa, and then mosquito.
Reid and Sophia

In the first part of our trip, we explored many different exhibits including the penguins, butterflies, African Rainforest and African Savanah. After lunch we toured through the Canadian Wilds and saw some amazing owls in the Avery.  In our program we learned about animal classification and our class performed a play pretending to be the life cycle of the Northern Leopard Frog.  A quick tour through the rest of the Canadian Wilds (where we saw some very cute bears sleeping on logs and up high in the trees) and we were back on the bus.  It was a great day - thanks to our very helpful parent volunteers also!

Tomorrow is wear a hat for mental health day!
