Samantha's first blog

Posted By pamelamyers on April 18, 2016

At school, Sam’s class has been learning about wildlife and fish. They actually got some fish for the classroom, which Sam is very happy about. Here is a picture of one of the tanks. There are a bunch of them with one or two fish in each.

Her teacher sent home a paper recently asking us to sign for permission for our child to take home the class pet for one night. Um, what? Oh….the class pet is a stuffed fish. Whose name is Bubbles. Well. Ok. Sign us up. The idea is that you take Bubbles the fish home and do some sort of activity with it then it goes back to school.

I went to pick up Sam after school today and she was beyond thrilled to show me that she is the first one in her class who got picked to take Bubbles!!! Here is Bubbles.

Bubbles has a journal where Sam was to write about what they did together and attach a photo. Her teachers took Bubbles home over the weekend and during the week. Bubbles went bowling, made a cake, and learned to drive. The pictures were pretty funny. Sam has good teachers. They really know how to do fun things for the kids.

Before we even got in the car to come home, she told me that she was going to send Bubbles to space. Ok…Poor Bubbles got shoved in the rocket ship right away and blasted off!

That is the picture Sam wanted to use for the journal, but we took this one too. The stars and planets are the stick on kind that glow that kids stick on their bedroom ceilings, but I am a crazy person and wouldn’t let her stick them on the paint so we made a posterboard. Yeah, I’m nuts. So sue me. I worked hard on those darn clouds in her room. They’re staying.

Later, Mark and Sam took Bubbles outside for a bike ride and to get some air.

Bubbles has an odd sense of humor…

Sam worked on the journal before she went to bed. It turned out rather nicely. I think her teachers will be very pleased!
