Last friday Jane Goodall visited our school. It was unbelievable meeting such an amazing women. My class spent two weeks learning about her research on chimpanzees, Africa, and endangered animals. The students worked together to trasformed the outside of our class into an African rainforst, created books about Jane, and wrote letters asking her questions about her life. When she arrived on Friday they were all so excited. One little girl asked me, "Is that really Jane Goodall? Or are you just tricking us. Is it her or is it just someone wearing a mask that looks like her?" I love first graders. During her tour of the school, my students presented Jane with a book they created. She loved the book so much that she said she is going to put the cover on her website! Before she left she signed a book for our class that says "Follow your dreams." I'm still overwhelmed and overjoyed by the experience.
