It was rainy at recess so the first and second graders in Bill and Rachels’s class visited me instead. Here they are winding up the toys in the office. They returned to class with two cars from my collection so they could be put to test on the block corner raceway.

And then today Ariana Stokas PDS – graduate from the class of 1996 dropped by to chat. Ariana is working on her PhD at Columbia University . She is also an occasional substitute teacher at PDS when taking time out from her research and thesis writing.
