Students in grades 5 through 8, along with three teachers and several parents, visited Museum of Natural Science in Houston this week. Getting there was a bit nerve-wracking as traffic going into Houston was appalling. It never actually stopped which probably means Houstonians thought it was a good traffic day but for those of us from the country, it was terrible! But we made it and do appreciate St. Paul's United Methodist Church of Houston for allowing us to park in their parking area.
The Museum has a traveling exhibit about the Civil War. It's sponsored by the National Archives and Records Administration and was everything it was advertised to be! We also had time to visit several of the permanent exhibits at the museum. And we ate our picnic lunch on the floor of the great hall because it was raining outside! We certainly did not complain about the rain.
I am very proud of our students. They behaved as ladies and gentlemen in the museum. At one point, there was a brief power outage. We were smack in the middle of the tour through the Civil War and although there was emergency lighting, it was mostly dark. Our students very calmly stopped and stayed put. Other groups of students didn't behave so well! We heard screams and such--all unnecessary. We complimented our students on their excellent behavior.
I'm posting a few pictures that I took. I didn't get a photo of every student so forgive me if you don't see your
child's smiling face!! They were on the move most of the time and I captured the moments as best I could!
