Fluff & Nutter!
On Tuesday, June 4th, I had the distinct honor of accompanying my daughter ClaraJane and her "famous bunnies" – Fluff and Nutter – for a visit to her former Children's House classroom, Room 283! ClaraJane did an excellent job helping with the the presentation, and both the Room 283 students and the bunnies were very well behaved for this very exciting encounter. The young scholars sampled two of the bunnies' favorite foods – carrots and kale – before offering them to the hungry, fuzzy, fluffy animal friends. After all questions and curiosities were satisfied, students each had a chance to pet Fluff and Nutter before heading off to the next activity in their busy end-of-year schedule. Thank you Ms. Mayya, Ms. Sandra and our Room 283 friends for your wonderful hospitality! Love, Ms. Jenny :o)
