Wednesday’s Weekly Window

I walked into the 2B library class and asked out loud as they worked, "What are you learning in library today"? One boy turned to me, smiled, and exclaimed, "about my favorite animal!". I could see a picture of a platypus, so I asked, "a platypus is your favorite animal?". He responded with glee, "now it is! It's the coolest animal I have ever learned about." I immediately took out my phone to capture the genuine enthusiasm these boys showed for learning about an unusual, web-footed creature through library media.
