That there is my new bee hive. Cute, yes? Nobody lives in it; this is strictly an educational dwelling. In fact, at this moment it’s packed in the trunk of my car, waiting for me to load in the last of my school visit supplies, hop in, and hit the road. Together we’ll criss-cross Massachusetts, visiting fourteen classrooms, four schools, two libraries, and one Sustainability Fair over the next nine days. That’s a lot of hive demos!
I’m excited about this trip for so many reasons. I get to test out the new hive and, since I’m returning to school communities I’ve worked with before, to see some old friends. Add to that a stop in the city I grew up in (*waves to students and teachers in good, old Everett, Massachusetts!*), the classroom of one of my Everett High School field hockey teammates (*waves to Chrissy Lyons and her students!*), and even the library I shelved books at as a high school student (*waves to everyone at the Parlin Memorial Library!*), and you’ll understand why even the wintry mix in this morning’s forecast hasn’t gotten me down.
So.
Here I go!
See you soon …
