Today I spent the day at school, recuperating from yesterday, our class trip. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good class trip, but they can be exhausting. We spent the day at Bartram’s Garden, in Philadelphia. A wonderful property right on the Schuykill River. You would never even know that it was there!
Our students engaged in botanical drawing and painting, seed dissection, seed planting and the harvesting of lettuce and kale. They have a great location outside with a pavillion perfect for a picnic lunch and lots of land for running around!
So, as we end the school year we are crossing off the major events, just field day is left for my 2nd graders. There are just 8 days left and the students have 3 half days right at the end. It won’t be long now!
