I like the way the kids are handling the outside time. They’re not perfect, of course, and ‘sources’ tell me bullying is rearing its ugly head, but I think overall this is a group that can handle learning beyond the school grounds.
Mrs. Nix will be gone a few days next week [thank you, Mr. Taylor, for that nugget], so it might be a good time to get some off-campus science going without immediate interrogation.
Next steps: 10-minute field trips at the school and parent permission slips for visits to the park.
