Shell Treasures at the Library

Last weekend, Mikro participated in a program on mollusks and sea creatures at the Croton Library.







He enjoyed it very much, and made a nifty triceratops from different shells. (Mom helped out by hot gluing the pieces together as requested...) He also had an accident and damaged the plastic cap of a bottle holding a preserved baby shark, which caused it to leak. He was very upset to have caused the damage. The educator was wonderful and caring. She told him that everyone makes mistakes, and that she would hate to see his love of science diminished by the incident. It took him a while to calm down about it, but he left with a smile on his face, and I left with tremendous respect for Mrs. Ferrari, who is the very best sort of lovely and caring teacher.
