a journey through the human body

August's school field trip was to the aT Center
to see some sort of body exhibit.
VERY interesting, to say the least.

You enter the exhibit through a giant mouth.The kids got to brush the giant teeth.Then it was over the tongue and down a slide into the throat.We got to see the lungs and the liver.We got to go through the heart (quite dark, actually).In the stomach we got to see all the goodies
that the giant had for breakfast.The kids got to learn all about the urinary tract,
including a demo on how boys go to the bathroom...
INCLUDING HOW THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO MISS!!!
(It is going on the seat and splashing all over his feet!!!)We got to go inside a rather large pregnant woman
and see some very scary looking babies.Then it was down a slide and through the intestines.

Hmmm... can you guess what comes next???
The exit was, well, a tad shocking,
though not surprising being that this is Korea.The kids had some time to climb around
on the mock giant piles and puddles.

Quite the field trip,

wouldn't you say???

Our field trip this month (on the 14th) was to the Outback Steakhouse.
In the morning, once all of the kids were there, we piled all of the Milky Way class (A-mine and B-Stephanie's) into the school bus and headed off.

We got to the restaurant and the kids all put on little Outback Steakhouse aprons and chef's hats.[a group shot]
Once they were all ready, we split into the two groups and went on a tour.[Steve][going through the kitchen]Once the tour was done, we all sat down for a 'snack'. The kids all got chicken fingers, french fries and soda. We (the teachers) shared a few dishes - salad with grilled chicken, spaghetti, and some sort of steak. Everyone got to take home some of their bread. Yum.
