“Row, row, row the umiak!” We bucked a good breeze but had fun paddling away on Lake Union and then building our boats in the Center. The weather couldn’t have been finer and I couldn’t have asked for more parent assistance. Seriously, I am somewhat of a ‘basket case’ the night before a field trip, worrying about all the details. Much to my amazement NINETEEN parents/grandparents joined us on this field trip! That is a record for me and I hope you all had a wonderful time. I certainly did not need to worry about a thing once we arrived at the CFWB. A parent even reminded ME to pick up my hat and sunglasses just as I was reminding all the ‘kinders’ to remember their belongings! That figures! In all honesty, having all those parents who adjust their schedules to be with us on Friday was the biggest show of teacher appreciation of all of the many gifts bestowed on me this week. THANK YOU!!
