Ryan -
C'mon - admit it - you had as much fun as the kids!!
Yep - first grade is a magic time. You will never know what a difference you might have made for one of those children - a door opened, a possibility 'planted'. . .
"Ag in the Classroom" sounds like a great program. Is it part of a specific college course you are taking?
Thanks for sharing with us.

Every year, the first graders at my local elementary school walk over to my house (one class at a time) to see my trees. Before they come over, the teacher shares my Web site with the class so the children can see what the trees looked like when they were young. By far, the biggest "hit" is the pictures that seem to show my house getting smaller as the trees get bigger! They also seem to be fascinated by pictures of the same tree in different seasons. Well, so am I.

We are all educators in one way or another. Thanks, Ryan, for being so generous with your time and talent!
