Zoo field trip tomorrow

We are going to the Detroit zoo tomorrow. We will be leaving around 9:30 and be back by 2:30. We have three parents going with us. We are not visiting the whole zoo, instead we are going to a classroom in the education center for some hands on activities about life cycles. Next, we’ll eat our lunches and then head to the butterfly habitat.

This field trip is to further our understandings of life cycles, habitats and living things.

Please have your child wear thier Oakman shirt so it’s easy to see where we belong.
