First thing monday morning, I got drafted to do two school pre-visits at Desert Wind's Elementary, due to an unexpected short-staff situation. Overall it went pretty well, although I accidentally switched the words "omnivore" and "herbivore" during my first talk...needless to say this added a certain level of confusion within the preoccupied minds of 3rd and 4th graders. Other than that, it went relatively smoothly, and somewhere along the way I earned the honory identity of, "Hey, Ranger Lady.."
Throughout my time here, it has never ceased to amaze me how far kids will go out of their way to tell stories in the midst of a lecture. Even with the preface before the program that there won't be enough time for everyone to tell personal stories, they never fail to try to sneak them in. I ask a question, and am impressed by the number of hands raised. Just my luck, I always call on the kid who takes the opportunity to start telling a story instead of answering my question.
Oh kids.. gotta love them.
Tomorrow morning I'm heading off to Marana High School's day care to tend to a slew of 3-5 year olds; with a slideshow, a box full of animal skulls and furs, some coloring books and picture books, I am ready to entertain for 70 minutes.
I hope all is well!
