School Layout: Children’s Museum Field Trip
April 8, 2020
One of my favorite ways to capture the life of one of my kids as a student is to chaperone field trips. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis has always been one of my kids’ favorite places to visit, but when they get to go with a classroom full of friends, it’s even more enjoyable!

A note about older posts
Posts that are dated June 22, 2020, and before are posts I have imported from my old blogs. Please note that I have not taken the time to make sure they are all formatted to fit the current website design, nor have I reviewed each one to make sure all links to external pages are still in tact.
