If Good Questions = Learning then what makes a good question? Well, that's debatable:) Here's what we think....

Wally's first visit in 08-09
Here are some "snapshots" of Wally's visit from last year!!
We screamed in joy when he arrived! So far he’s helped us to revise our Native American myths and has met our art teacher, who told us that there is evidence that woolly mammoths once lived here in PA. We really LOVE Wally and we hope Wisconsin gets a mammoth, too.
Wally LOVES to read! He reads books with us while we teach him about Pennsylvania!
Our class has been working very, very, very hard on our project lately. We have been learning to work with our groups and have been trying to finish our wiki so we can get a woolly mammoth. I wonder…. is the woolly a parent or kid, mother or father, girl or boy, nice or mean, fun or boring? How is the Wisconsin team getting along? Are they working in groups too? What happened to the New York team? I have a sundry of questions! But I really do think that the mammoth might like living here. One reason is because p.a. has a lot of firsts including the first zoo and the first capital! Also PA has a lot of amazing cities, geography, history and so much more! I really can’t wait to meet the mammoth because I want him/her not to be scared when they first come.
Bye,
Miriam
P.S. I hope the Wisconsin team is excited and hard working as we are!
This weekend I took home our woolly mammoth, Wally, so he would not be lonely at school. This is the first weekend Wally went home with one of us. Wally and I did a lot of stuff over the weekend. On Saturday, I invited a friend over and all of us (Wally, my friend, my mom, and I) went to one of the Carvel Ice Cream Shops. On the same day, my dad and I rode on our bikes to the nearest park. You can find tadpoles in the water and you can climb on most of the rocks without getting your socks and shoes wet. The next day I went ice skating and brought Wally on the ice. In the picture, I am doing the lunge while holding him. Later, we stayed inside eating pizza while watching a HALE storm. A HALE STORM at the end of March! It does not go by the saying ‘’In like a lion out like a lamb.” That is how I spent my weekend with Wally
