Kindergarten Class Field Trip:: Tianjin Aquarium

One fantastic Monday several Mondays ago the Kindergarten classes from IST ventured to the Tianjin Aquarium.  I love it when the parents are welcome to join on class field trips!  It meant I also got to experience something new!  

And the field trip went ….swimmingly!

The most soothing part of the aquarium was watching the jellyfish.  Unfortunately, the shouting from all the children didn't exactly add to the ambience!  ;-)
