On Wednesday, Maddie's preschool had an on-site petting zoo of pigs, a goat, a small horse, rabbits and a sheep visit the kids. The kids were able to touch and hold some of the animals and learn about them too. They also did farm animal artwork to help reinforce what they'd seen at the petting zoo.
When I picked Maddie up at school that day, I could tell she'd had a wonderful time with the animals. She first ran over to me and handed me all the artwork she'd done with a proud smile on her face. Then, she started doing summersalts while I spoke to her teacher. Maddie did THREE summersalts in a row and would stand up and clap for herself after each one. That's the first time she's done a summersalt on her own. She starts on her head and kinda rolls halfway forward and halfway to her side. Maddie's teacher and I were pretty impressed and got a good laugh.
Maddie had obviously had a wonderful day at school learning about animals. :-)
