Harold

Today was awesome!!! My class got to see Harold the giraffe for the second time this year. Who is Harold? Harold is a puppet who lives in a mobile classroom. We also found out that we need a mobile classroom as well. The mobile class room is a big truck. On the inside there is lots of boards controlled by one little I-pod, well that is what I think it is. It is really cosy inside the classroom.


Who is the teacher? The teacher is Lynn. She is really nice. She is in charge of everything inside. We also do learning inside the classroom (of course). There is one thing that I want you all to know, THINK BEFORE YOU SAY. Lynn even made up this acrostic poem thing.


T is for True.
H is for Helpful.
I is for Important.
N is for Necessary.
K is for Kind.


First when we got there we took off our shoes because Harold's carpet had been cleaned. We sat down in rows of 3 so there was still a little pathway to walk through. Next a boy in my class, Donavan got chosen to do a messy activity. None of us knew what he going to do, Lynn only said it was messy. Then Lynn came up holding a packet of toothpaste and a clip board. I had no idea of what he had to do. Finally Lynn started explain. "So" she said. "Donavan is going to splat all the toothpaste on the paper and then make a drawing out of the toothpaste." Donavan squirted on the toothpaste and started to draw a smiley face. It didn't really turn out but he did a really good job. After that Donavan had to true put the toothpaste back in the tube in its stripes. No one could do it. This was to say when you've said something you can't take it back.


We had some really long but really fun lessons learning about what choices to make and what drinks not to drink. Finally at the end we got to see Harold. We had a disco party with him and got the party lights. When ever the song said shooting stars, stars appeared on the ceiling. It was awesome. The lunch bell rang and we sadly walked out of the class and headed for lunch. We can't wait for Harold to come again!!
