Changing, Growing and Moving On Up
Yesterday, the students wrote about how Abby has changed. They observed that her webbed feet have developed and that she walks much better now. She is fluffier and chirps a lot now. Abby also likes to flap her wings. She eats food now and drinks lots of water.
Today, we each had a turn to hold Abby. It was the moment many had been waiting for! We also said goodbye to Abby today. She will be leaving us to go back to her "goose" family to learn how to be a goose and not a person! As a send off, we wrote letters to Abby, expressing our hopes for her. Then, each student got to read their journal entry to Abby. She loved all of them and seemed to take the advice and aspirations to heart.
Many students said they hope that Abby will become a big, strong goose. They believe she will "chirp, chirp" a lot and that perhaps her mother will have to tell her to be quiet sometimes! One student hopes that Abby will learn to defend herself and become a good swimmer.
We even had a prediction that Abby will one day open her own store called "Abby's Store!" We sure have high hopes for our little gosling!
We are grateful to God for creating Abby and for allowing us to care for her!

From our journals...
5-26-10
Last night one of the eggs hatched! Two of the eggs have not hatched yet. I hope the other eggs will hatch.
5-27-10
We are feeding our goose and giving her water. She is getting bigger. She lives in a cardboard box. She is loving it! We named her Abby. That is a pretty name.
We have to keep a light on the box to keep Abby warm. She was shivering at first.

Our New Arrival!
On Monday, day 30, or sometime early Tuesday morning, our first gosling arrived. She is yellow and brownish-black and seems to be doing well. We had a great time getting to know her. We also observed her egg tooth. By a democratic vote, our class has named her "Abby."
Thanks to Mrs. Summers and Mrs. Goodwin for their help and wisdom in taking care of our newborn.
