Our last day of school for 2009 has come and gone . k and s have successfully moved on to 6th and 2nd grade, respectively. The kids were up and out of bed easier and earlier than perhaps any other school day this year. s wore his favorite outfit. He has commented to me that he particularly likes this shade of green. As you might imagine, he can give a fairly detailed account of the genetics of red-green colorblindness.
My friend and neighbor, Anne, started a walking school bus about 6 weeks ago. The concept is that children from a neighborhood gather and walk to school with a different parent every day, promoting friendship, physical fitness and using no fossil fuels to get to school. s and I have both loved walking school bus and am so happy my friend Anne took the initiative to organize it! Above you see most of our riders (we were missing one on Friday) and the school bus in action!
