Quarry Hill round 2

(the two classes together watching a puppet show on bats)

Despite the cold temperature, the first grade class ventured out to Quarry Hill to continue their learning as scientists by making keen nature observations.

This time they measured live specimens and preserved samples.

Time to go back home.
Two friends having a good time all the way home on the bus.

Two more friends full of giggles on the bus.
Thankfully, Claudia's teacher put her foot down with the bus driver, who was balking at the idea of including regularly ambulating children on "Claudia's" accessible bus. Claudia had a much more pleasant experience sitting right next to a buddy. Sometimes it is the little changes that make a big difference.

Really - what an arbitrary rule to separate kids! Looks like a great learning experience. Barbara
