Field Trip Time
We went on a field trip on Wednesday to a local children's museum. The kid's had a blast, of course. But a field trip is not as fun when you are a teacher. Don't get me wrong, I had fun. I am just EXHAUSTED! The museum had a jungle gym obstacle course area. There was… Continue reading Field Trip Time
