The votes are in! After careful consideration and deliberation, our hybrid homeschool Children's House students voted to adopt a sea turtle from the "Adopt an Animal" program at the Houston Zoo. We received a special package from the Houston Zoo and it contained bracelets and adoption certificates for each child, along with a stuffed animal sea turtle for the class. The big question has been, what do we name it? A brainstorming session occurred at circle time and then another vote. Meet "Chocolate"! Chocolate has been spending her days in our library, sitting with the children while they are looking at a book. They are so excited to see a real sea turtle while we are on our field trip to the zoo! #mindsprout #bestyearever #seaturtles #fieldtrip #handsonlearning #montessori #oldtownspring
