A Visit from Redbird!

If you haven't heard, Redbird came to visit us with some of their critters.  Students were thrilled to see the different animals.  We got a chance to look at a scorpion, gecko, guinea pig, parrot, and tortoise.   Emma was chosen to be the guinea pig holder.  She took the guinea pig around the group for everyone to see.
She did a great job.


Then the gal let the parrot go.  Apparently, our gym is much too small for a parrot to fly around.  It made a loop around the gym and got a little too close to my head.  I never thought I was scared of birds, but having it come so close to my head made me a little nervous. I must have been too rattled after the bird went for my head, I didn't manage to snap a picture.  I am sure my friends (Ms. Green) and students would assure you that the parrot, named Rose, was not after me BUT I think she was!  

Well, the fun continued when they got out the 22 year old tortoise named Shirley.  Shirley got the chance to sit on different kids.  Here are a few pictures of the kids enjoying her.

 To top it all off, they made the teachers sit on the floor for Shirley to climb on.

We had a great time!  Thank you to Redbird for visiting our school!  I'll leave you with one last photo.  This is a combination of our class and Mrs. Allen's!  We have AWESOME students.
