I will leave Boston on the 15th. The kids loved me and especially my outfit. I was able to sit with them everyday in the different centers. The kids have gone home for the long weekend and I am going to go back into the cradle to go to sleep. Maybe I am going to hibernate.

I made it to Oneida, Tn. The kids are so glad that I am here. They really like me. Next we are going to study bears, and do lots of neat bear things. We are going to have fun.

I have been enjoying my extra long stay in Miss Rachel's Class. The kids are going to miss me. I enjoyed through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year. The kids said, "Shorty is a good mascot and will make some other class a good friend."

I arrived in Buda, Texas today for a short stay. This week we are studying about our great state! I am anxious to get my picture made in bluebonnets. The bluebonnet is the Texas state flower. Next week we will have Spring Break, so I will be in the mail at the end of this week. This is going to have a fun week Deep in the Heart of Texas!!!

Our class is learning about science with a kit called FOSS. We are having fun learning about fish. We have observed and drawn goldfish and their habitat. Very soon we will get guppies to observe too! Then the fun begins.....we get to compare the two types of fish. We all think it would be pretty neat to go to the ocean for a field trip. I think I could float in the ocean water with my intertube! The kids said, "He is so funny!"
