Proud Of My Little Pufferfish!

Well here she is, Lil Ms. Pufferfish! I took these pictures in the bathroom where Kristen put on her costume ready for her presentation. Pretty appropriate with the blue tile behind!

All Puffed up and nowhere to go!

And a 'smiley pufferfish', just for good measure.

Kristen did really well on her presentation. Here you can see her with her 'tri-fold' that shows lots of information about the pufferfish. The colored fish I cut out freehand (on the fold). Kristen was going to write questions on the front and have the kids lift the flaps to see the answers. I liked how she did it in her presentation best. I couldn't see any questions on the fish, so I assume she never had time to complete that part, so what she did instead (and I'm sure her teacher told her to do this) is she told the kids she was going to ask them some questions to see if they'd been paying attention to her :-) She would slightly lift the flap to see the answer then ask a relevant question. It was fun seeing the kids excited throwing there hands in the air shouting 'me, me'. Kristen would then pick one to answer. Even funnier when they weren't correct and she loudly announced "wrong!" and then would lift the flap to give the correct answer. LOL - there were a couple of questions answered right, to which she joyfully announced "correct" in a nice loud voice.


I taped the whole performance which lasted a good 10 minutes or so. I was so proud of how she spoke clearly and not quietly and got her audience involved. When she was done speaking the kids got to ask her some questions too. One of them was 'why did you pick the pufferfish?' to which she replied, because I think they look cute when they are babies!

Jason was thrilled to watch the video when he got home from work. I just wish I could figure out how to put a small part on my blog? I'd love for you to see how well she did :-)

A trip to the dentist is in store for me this morning, just a check up and cleaning. After that I'll head home to catch up with some housework.

the puffer fish looks fabulous! :O) You can add videos to Blogger, there is an option somewhere.

Keeping this short and sweet, as I'm doing several things at once....as usual!
