Meet Kamren

Kamren and his mom made me happy today! As I walked in from lunch, there was Kamren's mom in our classroom. She was there to watch, take pictures, and video Kamren presenting his bag. Why did that make me so happy? Well, for one reason, she told me Kamren had been excited about sharing his bag. THAT makes me happy! Plus, I was thrilled that she would come into Room 8 to watch. So.... meet Kamren!
Kamren told us he had this pen in his bag because he likes to draw and color...and green is his favorite color.
He also loves to read...and this book, "Captain Underpants," he read one time from 7 in the morning till 10.
Now this is an insect, but I can't remember what kind. With the angle of this photograph, I can't tell for sure. I'll have to double check on this tomorrow. However, Kamren BUILT this. He said it took about 1 1/2 days. He let it walk/crawl across the overhead.

Now this is another toy that I cannot remember the name of...poor Room 8, this old brain can't remember toy names! I think it was one of those Japanese toys??? Kamren had two of them - one large (the one in this photo) and one small (that you can't buy anymore).

Quite a few of the students in room 8 made connections with Kamren...and we all learned a lot!
