Field Trip for a cause

  Yesterday I got to be a chaperone for a field trip Unity's class took to a local food bank.

                              The kids all hold on to the rope. They call it "Mr. Roper" and they sing and chant
the whole time. It takes quite a long time to walk the three block to the food bank. They are each holding a can of food in a little bag with their other hand.

                              We talked in very basic terms about what the food bank is and why people need it.

                                             Then we got the grand tour, of the giant fridge and freezer.

I'm glad the kids are learning about service at an early age. Even if it's a very basic beginning, it's still a beginning.

Field Trip

Line 'em up!

All the children were very well behaved on the bus. Ahem.

and move 'em out!

Today I got to be a parent chaperone on a school field trip. I have to admit it was a little nerve wracking being partly responsible for 22 preschools, 21 of which were not mine. In public. But it all went just great. We had lots of parent volunteers so that was good and two seasoned teachers to lead us along. We took the bus to Seattle Center and saw Frog and Toad, the musical. Which was great and really well performed.

Brixton spent the day with a babysitter and when we got home he told us all about "Brixton's field trip" to the park.
