Northwoods Elementery School

I have been back a little over two weeks now and time has flown. An unexpected visit from my brother and Alison, who were volcano refugees has added to the fun and getting caught up with everyone.
While I was swanning around the globe I was sending postcards back to an kindergarten class where a friend is a teacher's assitant. The kids have been tracking Andy on a globe and hopefully getting a broader view of the world.
I would gather about 10 postcards at a time and write either a comment or a question for them. They got to choose their favorites and they went on the board.
Last week I was invited to meet the class and spend some time answering questions and generally getting to know them.
It was great fun and I really think they learned a lot and benefited from the experience. I know I did.
I had my picture taken with the class, and plan to go back to see them after the next portion of the trip.

They were normal kids who cannot sit still and ask random questions, but they were full of life and enthusiasm, and just very spontanious. I had a lovely morning with them.
Thanks Ann Marie and Ms Garrison for allowing me to do this.
