Well, we made it across the crosswalk to Fish Creek Park before we heard the first rumble of thunder. We had to make a Plan B quickly, as we didn't want to be caught out in something like yesterday's storm! We paid a quick visit to our Pet Tree before heading back inside for the last 15 minutes of the day. Hoping for better weather tomorrow! Rain is one thing, but lightning is another.
After watching the students let go of umbrellas, poke each other (mostly accidentally), struggle to hold onto umbrellas in the wind, and manage umbrellas that get whipped inside out (and hold their science clipboards and pencils) we are going to leave umbrellas in the school for our Walk Alongs. I recommend a rain coat with a hood if you have one instead. Thank you for understanding.
