What an incredible day. We started out with an amazing tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and studio. The home /studio was beautiful. They have put in quality workto restore the palce back to when Wright lived there. The walking tour was also wonderful. We were able to see a variety of Wright’s design in just a few blocks. After the Wright tour we went to The Museum of Science and Iindustry where we had twolectures about the Worlds Fair. Both presenters did a good job presenting their information. The walking tour went well and we were able to see the architectural elements in the building.
Today was full of great information and I learned many thing to broadene my knowledge but I don’t think I will be able to use todays content in my classroom. Archetecture may be a little beyond my third graders at this point. But I will be looking for ways to slip it in where ever I can.
Today I attended my first professional baseball game. We had some awesome seats but no foul balls came our way. The White Sox played the Detroit Tigers. Detroit won 2 to 1. Who was that sitting across the field from us?
It was a good day.

Don’t forget we got to see Thome hit his 552nd home run! That might be a historical memory one day! Amy, I got the Frank Lloyd Wright book for Kids and it has several ideas to introduce the conepts of architecture. They are simple concepts that you probably hit on in Math, like geometric shapes. Nice picture by the way…:) ~Melissa
