Yesterday, Emma's class went to the beach for a field trip. They started with a beach clean-up and finished with games and swimming. Mark, Mama, and Sarah came over and joined us for lunch.
We went to school on the walking bus. Basically, it is a supervised group of kids walking to school together. There are no school busses here. The kids all walk or are dropped off. The older kids can take city busses to school. It is pretty safe for them because everyone looks out for them. Starting next term, I will take a turn one day a week leading the walking bus. It is good exercise and it has provided us an opportunity to meet some more families that live close to us. I don't think much learning is getting done this time of year, but the girls and I are making friends, which is probably more important right now anyway.
