IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Since the first day of school, I have had a sweet gray billy goat marionette at school on our share chair. We have not addressed it at all until today. After Reader’s Workshop, I thought it was time to”wake her up.” She got down and she sat, walked, and looked at the kids. The children just fell in love her. They were all asking if they could pet her so she became part of our classroom community quickly. Ashu then asked what her name was, and to be honest we did not have one. So, I asked the kids to brainstorm about names for this sweet billy goat. After lunch we discussed names and wrote them all down on a board. At the very end of the day as part of our closing meeting, we voted on names and low and behold Crystal Speeder were the top choices!! I was smiling the whole time as friends voted for Crystal Speeder. Then we realized Speeder was tied with Fluffy so the friends decided that she needed to have three names Crystal Fluffy Speeder. I think that she will pop up here and there in class which will be a treat!!

So, ask your child about Crystal Speeder and see what they say!

P.S. I took picture of the voting, but I forgot to take a picture of Crystal Fluffy Speeder! Sorry!
