We continue to return to “normal” after two years of abnormal. I was able to chaperone a school field trip to the zoo with Shecklet #4’s class. The group of girls I followed around had a mix of “run and see everything” and “read every single sign at every exhibit” kids. I didn’t have a problem getting my steps in today.
This kid is so full of creativity, spunk, and laughter. She lost her tooth while on a field trip today. The parent chaperone gave her a baggie from her lunch to put it in so it didn’t get lost. She was one proud little girl when she got off the bus this afternoon.
While I’m talking about her, this was a recent art project #4 was able to being home. (Splat the Cat from the book series.)
I was chosen to chaperone Shecklet #4’s field trip to the Children’s Theatre Company today. The production was well done and the kids had fun writing on the frosty windows to and from the destination. ❄️🥶❄️
I went on a field trip with Shecklet #2 and his 3rd grade class today. We learned a lot about the old flour mill and the river that used to power it. Great field trip!
As an end of the year outing, the preschool takes a trip to a local farm. This year, I was able to go along as a chaperone. 🙂 We boarded the bus in the morning and headed beyond the city limits. The great thing about the farm we visited was that we were the only group there. Once we all de-bussed, the kids split into two groups – one went on the “trolley” ride behind the tractor first, the other went to look at the animals. Then they switched. The farm even had a huge fenced in play are for the kids to explore. After the complete tour, everyone ate lunch and then we loaded onto the bus for the return trip home.
I think Nolan enjoyed himself. He wasn’t too keen on trying to feed the animals by himself, but he did let me hold my hand under his so that the goats could eat the alfalfa pellets. Not surprisingly, he liked the cats the best – probably because those were the animals he was most familiar with. The trolley ride was a big hit with him too because we got to see the farm’s “pirate ship” that is open for play during the fall. We may have to make a return trip later in the year…
