I hate to say goodbye to summer field trips, but all is not lost. We will be taking some local trips on a regular basis.
Three cheers to Miss Molly who organized summer this year. I think it was a huge success. Next year, we plan to look for more sites with lake fun.
I think teaching the kids to really swim this summer made the lake thing possible.
Miss Stacey suggested that we swim in the winter. Not a bad idea. The Y has some good deals, and the kids would love an afternoon of swim fun once a month. Call it gym class.
You know the state mandates a certain number of minutes for every subject in an elementary school. This summer, rock climbing at the Garden of the Gods was included as geology. Swimming in the lake has been duly listed as health with safety – water safety. Did you notice that someone wasn’t?
The trip to St. Louis was of course history and current events. Grant’s farm doubled as history, geography, and animal husbandry. Being creative is a part of the Garden School curriculum.
This is the lake. It's a geat lake. The water is warm, the lake is shallow, and the beach is clean.
