We had a Fantastic Friday! We had two “traveling field trips” visit us from the Cranbrook Science Center (this is being paid for with some of the money that you are sending in for our upcoming field trip to Cranbrook). One of the topics was Economics (the kids will say Money!) and the other was the Scientific Method. The kids and I really enjoyed these presentations. We had a lot of fun! It will be nice to refer to them this year when both topics pop up in our curriculum! Enjoy the video posts of our traveling Cranbrook experiences today!
