It was Giraffe day at camp today. The kids read a story about giraffes, visited the giraffes on the savannah, then discussed which one they liked the best. Jasmine said she liked the pink one the best! And... I found out that there really is a giraffe there named "Flamingo"... so I guess she was correct. They made a giraffe hat at the end of class. Funny thing- when they were asked to put their markers, etc away, Jazzy put the markers in the box.... then she noticed the picture on the front of the box.... so she took all the markers out and meticulously put them all back in the box in the correct order to match the colors on the front of the box:). Hope she isn't picking up on my neuroticism!
Yesterday was tiger and lion day. They watched as the zookeeper fed fish to the lions and tigers. Then the kids sang to the "baby lions" to make them go to sleep! Not sure if this is really true or something that Jazzy made up:)
Almost forgot my giraffe story: In vet school- maybe junior or senior year, I was working at the front desk on a Sunday. My mom showed up and I gave her a tour of the school. Since I was in pathology rotation, I took her to the very large refrigerated room where the bodies are kept for necropsy on Monday. We opened the door and a *huge* male giraffe was laying on the floor. His body covered the entire room! My mom almost had a heart attack!!:)
(Hi Mom:))
Here is Jasmine and friends in the craft room "cleaning up".
