The buddy system

Amalia's Pre-K class took a field trip to the U.S. Botanic Garden with their 2nd grade Reading Buddies   class. I was lucky enough to tag along as a chaperone. 

 Amalia and I are in the back of the bus. 

I was assigned to keep track of 3 kids, including my own.

Plants, plants everywhere

The gardens were also decorated with organic sculptures for the holidays.

Learning about carnivorous plants

Success! We didn't lose anyone.
