A perfect day at the zoo...

Our class spent the day at the Oakland Zoo today! 

It turned out to be a perfect field trip.

I know I say this EVERY time I do a post about my class...but the parents of my kids are incredible.

I thought they were awesome when I first started teaching and well now....we know each other very well and they just mean so much to me. 

I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this time in their lives. 

They always make me feel so special and never stop thanking me and making me feel so appreciated.

It's really great.

The Oakland Zoo was so beautiful! It is so relaxing and pleasant to walk through. With each animal you feel like you are in their real habitats. It's incredible!

  

:) I didn't even realize the bear was doing that in the picture till I got home. Cute!

The giraffes were my favorite!! 

Julian came with us!! Isn't he sweet?! He really enjoyed the kids and got a little taste of what my everyday with them is like. Never a dull moment..would pretty much sum it up!!

Most importantly, the kids had a blast. :) 

They were totally into the maps!! :) 

All of us!! :) 

What a great day filled with great memories. 

These are the days when it really hits me how many amazing things God has given me. 

This group of 13 sweeties are my life. 

I am just humbled to have the opportunity to make a difference in their lives. 

God is good.
