school outings

My first experience in the role of chaperone on a school trip was to the Science Museum. Above are Solomon and Imani, who were paired for the day. We had a lot of fun. The pictures below are of a flooring sculpture (layers of carpet, linoleum, etc) of which I am fond.

More recently, I've accompanied Sol's class to the Horton Kirby Environmental Centre, which made for another enjoyable outing. Next, the nursery (pre-school) class are going to watch a kids' play at the Greenwich Theatre, which I'd be interested to see. Here's hoping the teachers will continue to let me join them on these adventures! The chance to see how the children interact, to watch how they respond to new and different things, and to be exposed myself to more places and experiences, is both a pleasure and a privilege.
