The Duck Billed Platypus
In light of to my previous post Z's teacher a few weeks ago was talking about mammals and how mammals don't lay eggs. When all of the sudden Z, who is gifted in the area of factual knowledge, (mainly animals, cars, and weather) sat their perplexed as she made that statement and then raised his hand and told her to get her phone and look up the duck billed platypus. Needless to say, the teacher was not very happy with that statement but Z said a fact is a fact. Me I tried so hard not roll over laughing thinking as a teacher know your students. Mr. Dunn Z's other teacher got a real kick out of this too as Z said " how can someone not know about that unique creature? "
As Kirk and I are both up with fevers tonight I thought I would share this. 3rd grade has been a unique experience for us all, but I have to say this was funny!
www.australianfauna.com This is the latest mammal that lays eggs that Z is fascinated with. He really wants to share this with his 3rd grade teacher, but I think we will share it with his other teacher Mr. Dunn. He like myself will appreciate this!!! Z is such a smart boy!!!!
