Parker had a field that was a walking tour through downtown Walnut Creek. We didn't think it was going to be that fun, but it ended up being really cool. The class, which is pretty active, did amazing for about 90% of the tour, which was a huge win. It helped they played at the park before and after and had really engaging tour guides. They heard about how they were the hands of the future world, the Miwok native americans and what Walnut Creek used to be like, horse and buggy streets, the historic buildings and even a trap door. I was glad I got to go with Parker. He was sad because we couldn't drive others because they needed a new declaration page from me, even though nobody else needed one but it all worked out and Parker was in a group as soon as we got to the park. There was one mom who was on a mission to punish the kids. It was sad to see her interactions and made me grateful that she wasn't their teacher. Every teacher has their strengths and weaknesses and one of Mr. Mellingers strengths is he loves the kids and treats them with respect. One mom almost punched this chaperone out when she handled her son wrongly. It was quite the experience. We all have our bad days. Hopefully hers goes better tomorrow. Overall, great day!
