I had to make a last-minute change on Wednesday. There was thunder, the third-graders couldn't walk over, so instead of the big art field trip I had planned, my colleague and I hauled baskets and baskets of books over to the school. Of course, it only rained while they were being carried out to our cars! I did a quick spiel for summer reading with the kids then those with library cards checked out regular library books and those without got Library on the Go books. We did check out about 100 books, give or take, but I still lament my lost art field trip.... It did work out on Thursday though!
