Our new classmate Mothball

Today after lunch we, Room 14, got a package from our buddy class in Australia. Mrs Larsen opened up the package and described what she saw as a furry, brown fluff ball. It was a wombat! At first we didn't know if it was a boy or girl, but the wombats name is Mothball, so that answers that question. Our travel buddies also sent us a cool book called Wombat Stew, a DVD about Australia Wildlife and a profile of each student. We took lots of photos of mothball. We had a class photo and we put him on our plant and then our teacher took a photo of him with all his things he came with. Then we took him to Room 12 to introduce him to them and their travel buddy Koko who is also from Australia. We think Mothball is going to enjoy his time in our class.
