Katy

We learned a lot about Katy today. She started sharing her 'bag' by pulling out this shoe. Now it's no ordinary 'run outside and play' type of shoe, no, it's a shoe for jazz! (Katy, do you know how much your teacher loves jazz?) Katy loves to dance. She told us she has taken ballet for 4 years and jazz/hip hop for 2.

Katy also likes puppies. Her favorite kind of dog is a Skipper Key (I have no idea if I'm spelling that correctly because I have never heard of a Skipper Key!) Katy doesn't have one of these dogs, but she loves them anyway. Moriah chimed in and told us these dogs used to be on English boats and were used to catch mice. She thinks...

Katy also told us she collects Swarovski crystal. She illustrated by carefully unwrapping this beautiful butterfly. I was a little nervous as she was showing it...afraid she would drop and break it. But she didn't! Whew!

Katy also enjoys listening to music. She brought her Ipod Nano to illustrate this. She said she thought her Nano had 8 GB...and that it would hold 2000 songs and 7000 pictures! She even showed her teacher how to play games on it.

Katy also collects stuffed animals. She brought a hippo Webkinz (something else her teacher had NEVER heard of!). Apparently you can go online and "do things with them."

Pottery is another love of Katy's. In a pottery class (Max was also in this class), she made an ocarina. She played a couple of notes for us.
I think all of us, especially me, learned a lot from Katy as she shared her bag.
