Emma’s Zoo Day at School

Last Friday, Emma had a zoo day at school.  They had to pick an animal to learn about.  Their animal could be anything, except a pet.  She picked a porpoise.  I knew she needed a costume, but just could not wrap my brain around a porpoise, not a dolphin.  The costume was pretty lame, but the emphasis was on the learning (I’m using her teacher’s words).

The kids all had “Push Me” buttons on that “woke” them up and they told up to 5 facts about their animal.   The class then sang us some songs they had been practicing.

Their finale song was “God Bless America.”  It was so cute and they were so proud of that song.

After the songs, Mrs. Collins passed out the Distinguished Dolphin Awards.  The kids had to pass off 8 out of 15 items during the year, such as reading nightly, learning your address and phone number, etc. 

Mrs. Collins and Emma.  She was a wonderful, caring, kind teacher and we will certainly miss her.
