I had my first school group today. They ranged from toddlers to elementary school students. And they had a lot of questions for me! I took them through the can-making line, canning line, and the store. They had a lot of fun watching the machines run and learning how they work. They also really enjoyed seeing things in the store that their parents used when they were younger. They realized just how much life experience their parents had! And just how recent some inventions are. We also enjoyed making fish. We coloured them and stuffed them with newspaper; we made an entire school of salmon! My salmon, Sammy the Salmon, made some new friends that the kids introduced to him and some of his new friends stayed behind to keep him company. It was also really cute when I got a flower from a girl as thanks for the tour. I really enjoyed interacting with the kids and learning just how energetic they can be. I can't wait for my next school group next week!
From the middle of nowhere,

Hi Lu,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to read about how much fun you had with the kids. "Sammy the Salmon" reminds me of Helena's old hamster, Hammy.
I'm glad you read it with the appropriate amount of sarcasm. Did Helena strangle her pet too?
