Cleveland the BP goes to school!

I almost forgot about these pics -- something a little different, so I thought I would share. A couple of months ago I took my BP to my daughter's second grade class.

They were all very attentive as I told them a little bit about BP's and snakes in geteral. Then after that, I let all of them who were willing to hold him (I think everyone held him except for maybe one or two of the kids).

Here's the pics:

This one is of me while I am telling the class about him:

A few pics of the kids holding Cleveland:

And even the teacher gives it a try:

Thanks for looking!

Aw, that's awesome! I bet you scored big points with your daughter!

Yeah you got alot of cool points for that.

That is very nice of you to do. Just be cautious putting pictures of students on the net. The law requires us to have a "Media Release" form signed for each student before publishing any pictures of them.

That's awesome! I love the expressions on some of their faces!

Shoot, I didn't know that! How do I delete my original post???

Thanks,

George

I did some research, and I can't find anything that says there is a problem with posting pics of minors. I had Dr. Del take this thread off while I did the research.

If anyone has issues with this, or if there is something I overlooked, then feel free to let a moderator know and remove the thread.

Thanks,

George

That is a COOL shirt

That's cool. Great job...:gj:

The kids who learn that snakes are fascinating and not scary today, are going to be the voters of tomorrow...

That's funny -- yeah, he tries, but doesn't seem to get the matching. I think some Geranimals would be the way to go for him.

If you are referring to my shirt, thanks! I picked it up at Target for $9.99!! :P

awwwwwww....that is sooooooooo awesome!!! Isn't it fun to see their eyes and how excited they get about it. I LOVE IT!!!!!!

I just got done doing a huge school show....we had over 400 kids and at the end probably close to 45 reptiles. It went really really well....exhausting...but it was awesome!! I swear turning kids onto reptiles is so amazing...you just see them light up. That is of course until they go home and go "mommy....I wanna.....". And the parent is like...:O

lol:D

Awesome, i love this type of stuff! Great job!

I should have clarified myself better in my post. When I mentioned the law, I meant the law in regards to the school system. I was just trying to protect a fellow herper.

Looks like the kids enjoyed it. I wish more people like you and I would try to change the public's opinion on snakes. My students freak out in August, but by the end of the year they are holding tongs while feeding them.

I have to give you props. I think its very nice of you to educate young kids about bps or snakes in general. It helps make kids more comfortable about snakes than fearing them. Good job! :-)
