Ah, Pet Week. We were blessed with good weather on Tuesday, and that plus our patio makes all the difference. A pet turtle spend the day in the classroom. The children were fascinated to watch Sen move around the box. Two pet dogs visited us this morning (on the patio). John Henry and Lucy were both well mannered and welcomed the children's interest. We asked about food, baths, and walks. We learned to hold our hand out to meet a dog who is standing with it's master, and occasionally, if a dog really likes us, we will be asked to shake a paw or rub a belly. By the time Atticus visited at the end of the morning, walking out to the patio was not a big deal and we remembered how to greet him.
Our butterflies came out of their cocoons over Easter weekend, today we released 2 of the 5 into the warm spring air. Pretty exciting day in BVPS Caterpillar land!
