In January I coaxed Brad into chaperoning for an 8th grade trip to the capital, Olympia. Brad got to experience the craziness of 8th grade, a precursor to Madelynne's life as a preteen, and, honestly, he had fun. I have to brag---my 8th graders are fantastic. I have a few squirrel's, but they are great overall. Blessed by this year! They met their state representatives, asked intriguing and thoughtful questions, and were very mature and respectful. The capital building is pretty neat and impressive, so it was fun seeing the architecture and design and hearing the history of such a building.

Earlier in January, I had the opportunity to do a planning day for our Maritime week, which is devoted to our 7th graders. The 7th graders get about a week off to explore the history behind Pt. Townsend through examining the bay in which they live near. They get to use longboats and go out on the water, which will be fun. Next year I will be working with the 8th graders on their end of year trip, but thoroughly enjoyed my time with the 7th grade team. Great experience at Blue Heron, thus far!
