Spencer's school is pretty cool, and he is experiencing things we would never dream of while going to school in Harare, Zimbabwe and now New York City. The field trips are definitely a bit more exciting than what I had growing up. I volunteered to go and help out with the field trips and this one was when they were going to Central Park!
Here's Spencer at Sheep Meadow. The class was drawing what they saw...which was a lot of grass.
And a tree. This tree was just kinda out there by itself, but it's beautiful.
Here is The Mall. The leaves were just beginning to change colors, but as you can see it's quite a busy place with all kinds of sellers and musicians.
Lastly we went to Bethesda Fountain, which they had to draw also.
They have been going around Manhattan to different parks for 5 weeks now, one field trip every week, to see how different parks are structured. So while at these parks they have had to notice that the playgrounds are in certain areas, that there are trash bins, and restrooms, and lots of trees and grass. After looking at Central Park, High Line Park and others they are going to make a 3D layout of a park they created. I can't wait to see what they make in the end.
Now, were your field trips ever this cool?!?!

I certainly didn't have that many! At the same time, he went on lots of cool field trips while living in Africa, so... He is quite the experienced little guy!
