I've always admired Miss Valerie Frizzle. She was a teacher and she drove the Magic School Bus. She took her kids on magical field trips to outer space, inside the human body, through the city water system, to the ocean floor, and back to the time of dinosaurs. She was fearless and adventurous. And she had red, curly hair - what is not to like about that? She got her students excited. Some of her students were excited by the topic and others feared for their lives. It makes you wonder, did she get permission slips for all these field trips?Wednesday, August 22, 2012
