Who can have a huge
giraffe in their workspace? Who has one?
MOI !
Elle
s’appelle Georgette et elle est fantastique!!!
Remember how I said
that I am not too old for stuffed animals or stickers? Well here is proof. I cannot
tell you the joy that she brings, not only to me, but everyone else. One on my administrators comes in just to pet
her because Georgette makes her feel better!
How cool is that?
How did this come
about? How did I manage to obtain a gigantic giraffe for my classroom? Well, she belonged to my son and one day I
was picking him up from his dad’s house and Georgette, along with an elephant,
were sitting in the foyer. I asked what was up and he said that he was cleaning
his room and had outgrown them. Lucky me! You should have seen the look on his
face when I lit up and told him that I would take them to school! Yes, he rolled his eyes and the the “Oh mom…”
thing. I didn’t care. I knew this was going to be fabulous.
About a week
later, I came home and found Georgette and Babar (l’éléphant) in my living
room! This was a surprise and so funny the way they were set up to greet me. Even funnier though was me taking them to
school in the back of my convertible!
Actually, funnier still was me carrying them into school. Picture me
carrying a gigantic giraffe into a high school, up the stairs, down the
hallway. I was the talk of the town. It got better when I did the same thing
again with the elephant! A few months
later it would be a dragon and a pony!
Georgette is now a
centerpiece of my classroom, keeping me company next to my desk. Everyone gives
her hugs and she makes us all smile and laugh.
Merci
Georgette! Tu apportes la lumière et la
bonheur à nous tous les jours ! Merci
Sebastian pour nous a donné vos animaux ! Je t’aime.
Because I can have a
gigantic giraffe, an elephant, a pony, a dragon, and two big boxes of stuffed
animals in my class….
This is why I teach!
