One of my Thank You drawings
As an education specialist at the Zoo, I teach classes on and offsite. With the Zoomobile, we bring programs to schools, churches, community centers, festivals, camps, you name it. I have taught just about every age group you can imagine too.
Yesterday I did an all day Zoomobile program at Regina-Howell Elementary in Beaumont. I had about 120 second graders throughout the day, and they were just about the best group of kids I’ve ever had. Great questions, silly stories, and to top it off, they wrote me thank you letters complete with illustrations!
One of them began her letter with, “So, can I call you Tamz?” Sure, why not? Other letters described in detail how much they enjoyed seeing the American alligator I brought, or meeting the kingsnake, or sniffing the ‘smelly’ ferret. Whenever I tell kids that you’ve brought live animals, their eyes light up with excitement. They write in their thank you’s that they can’t wait for you to come back next year. And they will remember you the next time. It’s great to know that you’ve not only made an impact on their life, but you made learning fun too. So much fun that they feel comfortable enough to call you Tamz.
