a couple of weeks ago we were blessed to accompany Mrs. Buker's 3rd grade class on their field trip to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.  The kids had so much fun learning about the Chumash Indians and playing the the "artifacts."  They also got to catch butterflies and tadpoles.  Ashton had a lot of fun with the other boys and made a friend while hunting for butterflies.  And the best part...it was free!  Thank you Fran for letting us tag along!  Room 8 IS great!
