Recently Got to Visit Second Graders.

A little over a week ago I got to take my adult bp to a second grade class at the school my mother works at to talk about snakes. Jynx made me very proud and the kids seemed to really enjoy the presentation. We have been invited to come back and do more presentations next school year, and that makes me very excited.

Great job! I love to hear about positive presentations like yours.

It was awesome! The kids even sent my mom home with a really cute thank you card for me and Jynx a couple of days later.

That's so awesome :D I've been trying to do this for a while but where I am the schools are so full of rules and regulations and they are so afraid of being sued that they won't let you do any sort of educational programs involving animals. It's a real bummer. I'm so glad you got to do this and the children enjoyed it :D

That is SO cool. I'm kind of jealous of your experience :P How adorable that they even sent a card home - love it <3 Sounds like Jynx was an absolute gem. Hopefully one day I can do something like this for my niece or nephew's class once Valentine is an adult =) thanks for sharing

Just thought I'd share a few pictures of that day and the card the class sent us.

Great job!

I LOVE to hear about visits like this. I teach middle school... it is SO important to find ways to keep it fresh for the kids.

One visit from a person with a snake can ignite a child to consider becoming a veterinarian, a zoologist, a reptile expert etc.

Also, it nurtures the hobby and educates kids on the different types of snakes. The kids will come away from this knowing more about snakes than most of their parents :)

AND whats best, is some of these kids will remember your visit forever. They may not remember everything that you said, but they will remember how the visit made them feel. (Let's hope none of them were terrified by the snake LOL :)
:)

Thank you so much for sharing your time with the kids :)

I love things like this and I always did as a kid too. When animals came to class it was my absolute favorite. I remember taking a field trip to the nature center where we all got to touch a bull snake. I'll never forget it!

It's great that you got the opportunity to do this! :)

They were all really good about it! Even the ones that were scared at the start eventually warmed up and pet him.
