On Friday March 24, 2017 all three Kindergarten classes boarded a bus to travel to Brigham Young University (BYU).  The Kindergarten classes have been studying rocks and fossils, so went to the Museum of Paleontology at BYU.  They also went to the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum at BYU because they will be studying animals.  While there, they went to a presentation on animal comparisons.  Students were very mesmerized by the size and shapes of all of their experiences.
