We didn't have much 'school' today. As soon as the bus dropped off our Nicollet kids, we all scurried to cars and drove down to MLHS for a Revolutionary War speaker (turns out, one of the dads was a student of Mr. Kind back when he was in middle school!). It was good, but there wasn't as much interactive acting out as in other presentations. He also got sucked up in explaining why the patriots went to war (or 'provincials' as the British called them) and ran out of time so we couldn't act out how the militia would've gotten their guns ready for drills. I remember he did that the last time we heard the Revolutionary War speech and it was really cool. Bummer.
The roads weren't great, so we took it slow heading back to school. We made a pit stop at Pizza Ranch in New Ulm for lunch. There were a few kids who ate too much and had sore stomachs the rest of the day! After that, we had just enough time for 5-6th math and 7-8th science/spelling, followed by 5-8th PE. And that was our day!
After school I had a bunch of putzy little things to do. Now I'm headed to Mankato for a folded book art class put on by the North Mankato Library (the one that runs the Bookmobile). Should be fun!
