A day of Field Trips

I spent much of the day with Grant's class. First he had a "field trip" that comes into the school. The presenter showed the class items from the aboriginal people of Canada. Then the class learned how to play aboriginal games. The games were all made from sticks, except for the one made from rocks. They class then made pouches and drew designs on them similar to bead work. Grant drew a buffalo on his. Of course, I assumed it was a longhorn! Which one of us has been education in Canada? Then the class went outside and built a tipi. (Is that how we spell tipi in Texas? Because I didn't think that was how it was spelled, but its definitely how its spelled here.) That was very interesting, and you can watch how it goes up in the pictures.

Then after lunch they had a field trip for swimming lessons. The class has eight one hour swimming lessons at a local community swimming pool, so Mason and I finally made it out to watch the class swim. Of course Mason cried for ten minutes because he wanted to swim too.

And yes, Grant got a haircut. He decided on going short this time. What do you think? He definitely needs to even out his tan line so he doesn't have about two inches of white around his hair!

More fun coming up this week!
