My parents often volunteered to go on field trips when I was in elementary school and I remember appreciating the fact that they helped out. So when Margaret brought home a notice saying they would be making this trip, I made sure that I could volunteer to help out.
The plan was to walk 21 first graders the approximately 10 blocks to the Art Center, have them participate in a couple of activities, then walk them back to the park where they would play and eat lunch, then head back to school.
I was concerned about the walking all those children all that distance without losing them or them tiring out or ... who knows with a bunch of 6 and 7 year olds.
But they did great. The stayed together and minded what the teachers were saying ... for the most part.
Here's most of them after we arrived at the art center. Look how it looks like they are behaving.Amazed, I am.
And pleased.
Margaret's teacher did a great job keeping the kids on task. I don't envy her job.
