Have you ever worked on a project, got about 80% done, and realized you really didn’t like the way it was turning out? You’ve got a few choices. Finish the project as is and never truly like it. Stop. Reassess the situation. And make the necessary changes to turn it from something that is …
In some ways it seems silly to call a frequent activity a field trip, but since we did spend a few minutes more focused on the activity I believe it counts. We marveled at all the colors and smells. The kids were especially drawn to the beautiful, purple eggplant. It is just a glorious beginning …
