I missed field day this week, but got to go to the Konza Prairie this morning with Monroe's class, it was a gorgeous day and a gorgeous hike.
Not sure if I will remember the hike or our guide "Gary", he could have been in a movie, he had a total sense of humor but got me a little worried from time to time. At one point, he said "Im having trouble breathing, I can't talk anymore", and later was unsure if we were headed in the right direction on the trail. He was so kind, sharing his own personal water bottle with the kids.
Gary had the kids put their arms straight out, close their eyes and "feel" the prairie.
Lets just say our group was a little on the wild side to say the least.
the kids were using their hands as different layers of limestone, boys and girls are very uncomfortable touching hands in 3rd grade.
Gary gave them several snacks along the trail, weeds, celery,
and sour something?
showing off a heart shaped rock, we saw several of these, and very sharp!
Besides a few bees and ticks, it was a great field trip to end the year.
