Guess who stopped by!
The Easter Bunny stopped in the First Grade room to check on math class! He enjoyed learning about the terms for addition number sentences including: in all and all together. He happily or should we say hoppily posed with the First Graders. (The boys and girls thought that the Easter Bunny somewhat resembled Winside Sophomore Garrett Watters.) Hmmm.....probably related! :)
IT'S A ZOO AT WINSIDE ELEMENTARY!
In order to celebrate reading, Winside Public School librarian Mrs. Kristy Wittler arranged for Magical Paradise to present at Winside Elementary School. Deb Vesely and David King from Central City, NE own and operate this Magical Paradise. Experience this magical adventure with us through pictures!

| Should we touch it? |
 |
| Hmmm...interesting! |
 |
| Interesting feathers! |
 |
| What is this? |
 |
| Is he petting the African crested porcupine? |
 |
| This green parrot's name is Solomon and he talks only when he feels like it! |
 |
| Come on Solomon, talk! |
 |
| Still trying to convince Solomon to chatter away! |
 |
| More interesting animals! |
 |
| How cool! |
 |
| Look at the animal on her back! |
 |
| Even Miss Tina and Miss Elysia enjoyed the program! |
 |
| Meet the ring-tailed lemur that eats fruits and vegetables. |
 |
| What a friendly ring-tailed lemur! |
 |
| This tool is used to touch the snakes and wake them up without the keeper getting hurt. |

 |
| Greet the spiny tailed lizard! |
 |
| Here is the crested gecko from South America. |
 |
| If the crested gecko's tail gets damaged, it never grows back. |

 |
| This hedgehog has 5000-6000 quills! |
 |
| What an adorable guinea pig! |
 |
| This is the fourth largest rodent in the world called a Patagonian cavy. A full grown Patagonian is 6 foot tall and weighs about 25 pounds. It likes to inhabit the burrows of other animals. The sight of a small field mouse places Ms. Loetscher on the top of her desk. You can't imagine how the sight of this rodent affected her! |
 |
| This is the Flemish Giant Rabbit. |
 |
| This interesting chinchilla rolls in volcanic ash to take a bath. The ash soaks up the chinchilla's oil. |
 |
| Both Deb and David exhibited a passion for these special animals. Look closely and you will see the sugar glider on David's shirt! |
 |
| Hello, Mr. Sugar Glider! |
 | |
| The sugar glider is still crawling on David's shirt. |
 |
