Art Institute in Chicagoland

Today was perfect. I planned and executed a field trip to the  Art Institute in Chicago. I created a scavanger hunt for the students that included capturing a photo of Mr. Newland eating a meal and posting a jumping picture on the roof of the Institute. I'm hoping to post these images in the newspaper next month! When Josh picked up his meal at Portillos, a dozen students followed him to his seat to get pictures. It was hilarious. He loved the attention and the lunch. Once at the museum, students were free to wonder over to Millenium Park, but I hung out with the French teacher who brought her French 5 students along at the museum the whole time. The time evaporated while wondering, looking at amazing artwork. On the way home we watched HP7 while stuck in Chicago traffic. It was just what I needed to unwind from a stressful week. Tomorrow, I'm back to business.
