So many GOOD government programs are being cut, including this one that reaches 300,000 people across our great state of Colorado. Please contact your senators and representatives now to save Colorado Humanities coloradohumanities.org

Fun morning at Steamboat Montessori where I gave my author and dolphin program. These kids were acting out an ocean food chain, and afterwards they asked GREAT questions. School visit #26 this year :).
