OM-gosh, the kids are...I have stuffed animals too! OM-gosh, the kids are attracted to them like nothing else--and it is all of them. I think we tend to forget (my self included) that these kids are still so young and seeing them curl up with a stuffed animal, beanie baby, whatever still amazes me.<br /><br />I think that some of the students still use them almost like a comfort/coping mechanism, which is totally appropriate--but it's a little aspect of teaching that sometimes gets lost in the shuffle.<br /><br />I will admit that I still have my favorite stuffed animal (it was a cheetah) but it has been passed on to my daughter and she sleeps with it every night. (warm fuzzes).<br /><br />Thanks Holly!<br />MattMatt https://www.blogger.com/profile/08852979197112220942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921941721176853181.post-50472533576236341482014-03-16T08:42:22.712-04:002014-03-16T08:42:22.712-04:00I'm so glad you're doing Flashlight Friday...I'm so glad you're doing Flashlight Friday! I love how you tied it in to your goals and furry friends too! Talk about multi-tasking! They'll definitely be "favorites" for the furry friends and maybe some friendly arguing over them, but that's what makes it such a special time! As soon as word gets out to the third class, they'll meet their goals!

I also love the Furry Friends - we too have an over abundance of furry friends that my children have a hard time parting with - I think we manage to purge one or two a year and they get 3 new ones!! Thanks for the new addition to our reading time : )Elementary AMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972140936502799290noreply@blogger.com
