We will see you all, bright and shiny, tomorrow morning! The children taking their pictures will go inside immediately and will not play in the morning.
Children who have siblings in Ms. Joanna or Ms. Jerical’s classes will also take pictures tomorrow!
If you are in Ms. Jerical or Ms. Joanna’s class (or if your child has a sibling in those classes), we will see you tomorrow for picture day!
The Zoo Man came to visit today! His real name is Michael Hicks and he is the owner and director of the Capital of Texas Zoo. He’s also part of a world-wide effort to save various reptiles (especially snakes) through breeding programs at different zoos. He always ends the show with a snake and advice about what to do if you see one in the wild (don’t touch it!) 😉
The brave snake volunteers: Jeremiah and Elodie
Ms. Jerical helps tell the children what a snake actually feels like–and it’s not slimy, wet or hot!
Sausage the blue-tongue skink visits the school so much he should enroll.
Parker and Jianna help demonstrate how a skink smells.
You can’t see it very well, but all of the following children chose to hold a giant hissing cockroach. They washed their hands afterwards!

During tours, some parents ask if the children are invited to do anything they wish during the day. I answer that our day is definitely structured. And, while the children choose their lessons during the work period, the guide and the environment support and direct their learning. So, while the children cannot do everything they wish to do, they are able to operate with freedom in a structured, prepared environment!
If your child is in Ms. Stefanie’s class, we will see you tonight!
I look forward to seeing the parents and some of the children in her class!
