A special visitor...

Today while we were doing math we had a visitor at the door.  It was Mrs. Spelliscy (another teacher from our school) and she had something special to show us.  It was a tiger skin.  As she walked into the classroom with the tiger, I watched 15 little bodies get up from their work and gravitate toward it. (I was unsure of the reaction they would have and worried some might be a little scared.) It was amazing!  Everyone was able to feel how soft it was and listen to the story of how Mrs. Spelliscy's father-in-law got the tiger skin.
