I signed up to help chaperone a field trip for Princess's class last week. Unfortunately, Mother Nature chose that day to have a thunderstorm so the field trip was postponed until TODAY! Normally I would not volunteer to chaperone an event that is in the morning. Usually DadOf3 likes for me to chaperone events closer to lunch time because he likes to come home during what would be a reasonable lunch time time-frame so he can just flex his lunch. (How's that for a run-on sentence?!) Today he left for work around 7:45 and I had to have him back home by 9:00AM! He was a good sport. Everything would have worked out perfectly if we would not have had the thunderstorm last week because then GrandmaOf4 would have been here to watch the boys. In any event, DadOf3 graciously came home when he was needed and I was able to help squire 20 squirmy kids to the Gallery of Pets pet store! We had enough help because each adult only had three kiddos to chaperone. I had Princess and two other girls. They did a great job and we chatted the entire way. I fully expected Princess to be begging for me to purchase her a pet by the end of the field trip. She did not however. It really was a neat field trip. The pet store staff seemed quite knowlegable and answered a lot of questions. The kids were able to touch a sea urchin and a sea star (we called them star fish when I was little). The whole field trip took less than an hour and I think the entire class had a great time! After the field trip, I helped decorate Teacher's door for Teacher Appreciation Week. My co-room parent decorated the door and I ordered lots of pictures and stuck them to the door this morning. It looks pretty neat if I do say so myself! If you want to see the picture of the door enter a comment!
