Imagination Station

Last Friday, the third grade took at field trip to the Imagination Station in Wilson, NC.  The kids loved it!  The museum portion of the trip was especially good.  It is a very kid-friendly museum, and the kids are free to roam and play, which is really great.  They also got to participate in an experient called "A Plant's Life".  I wasn't crazy about the experiment, but, the kids seemed to like it, and were pretty engaged.  Here are a few pictures from our trip.....
