Visiting Author Ron Hershi

Last week, naturalist and author Ron Hershi visited our school district. This meant that Georgia had her first field trip on Tuesday! She and her classmates rode the school bus (the MOST exciting part!) to a local park where Mr. Hershi guided them on a tour of the area. On Thursday, Mr. Hershi visited the school where each student made a book about their experience.


Also on Thursday, I had my first volunteer time in her classroom. I helped students paint rocks that they'd found at the river's edge during the field trip. Georgia was very excited for me to be there and I really enjoyed it. I am not scheduled again for another 2 weeks but I am working in the library next week for the Book Fair.
