Back To School Part II


Today we headed back to the Irving Elementary School and visited our kindergarten buddies, except this time they taught us about their state...Montana. They colored pictures of Montana facts that they thought would be interesting to us. They told us about the animals in Montana, things that they did in the winter, explained about the places they thought signified Montana, and the food that grow in the state. After each child came up and showed us their pictures, they gave us a gift that was actually quite delicious - Huckleberry Gummies. Of course, after the teacher gave us the treat each student asked if they could have one. And of course, when we were done handing them out we ended up with 2 each. It was then our turn to ask them questions which included things like what sports they play, what they do for fun, and what summer is like in Bozeman. After a couple kids told us what they did one boy politely and formally said, "I suggest that you check out the Animals in Montana." We all smiled because he was this little 2 foot tall child with a  delivery of a 50 year old man.  It was fun to listen to kids that age.  Another great day with the five year olds!

  3. Grant.............Wow, what a great story....so informative and interesting. Be sure to bring some of the delicious treats home with you; would love to try it. I always thought you might be in politics, or baseball hall of fame, or any other sport of fame, but now am thinking I'm going to be reading one of your books some day. Keep having fun.......(still think you need a Nanny!)
