I had an ok 4th grade tour, a highlights. They were responsive, curious and it felt adequate.
Then there were the 2nd graders from Marcy Open. Whoa. Many of them had been to the museum before and had very clear ideas about what they wanted to see. Japan. Europe. Rooms. Sculpture. Each thing we saw they asked questions, saw more stuff to go see. I sort of followed along, answering questions and encouraging their curiousity.
About midway through we took a group photo and they asked for me to be in it. I sat down with them. At that point a young girl named Isis latched onto my hand and did not let go. We wandered through the building looking at various rooms while I tried to keep up with their energy.
One little girl, Amelia, kept wandering off and I kept having to corral her back toward the group. At one point I asked her if she wanted to go back to the beginning and wait for us. No, she didn’t.
At they end she came up to me and said, “Charlie, you’re the best!” Meanwhile I had to detach Isis. It was a peculiar, mostly random, but very fun tour.
