Friday, September 26, 2008

We didn’t have our field trip today. It was pouring. Some people were disappointed but everyone did their best to be positive. Our class watched Little House on the Prarie (part I) with Miss Beglin and Mrs. Schaefer’s classes. We got to have popcorn as a treat while we watched the movie about a family from long ago. Isabella liked the part when the family came across the water.

This morning, we got free time during P.E. Nolan and Zoe played Wheel of Torture. Daniel won and Sean came in second place. Bartosz played soccer. Mia played with the gator ball.

We got to meet Jimmy for the first time today. Ms. Stern read a book called Turtle and Tortoise. Then, we started reading a story called Owen and Mzee. Next, we came up with rules for handling Jimmy. They are:
-Be careful and gentle
-Hold him like a sandwich
-Use quiet voices
-Stay in your spot
-Wash your hands!
Finally, Ms. Stern took Jimmy out to play! Everyone got a turn touching him. Lots of people got to turn him around if he walked toward us. Sammy thought Jimmy was a little bit nervous. Joan thought he felt kind of rubbery on his legs. We really liked getting to play with him. Kevin got to take Jimmy home for the weekend.
