Mugsy the Moose

Marc's kindergarten teacher passes around "Mugsy the Moose". Mugsy spends one night at each child's house. While the child has Mugsy, they have to "journal" what they did with him. This activity is to encourage handwriting practice. Marc has been waiting, sometimes impatiently, for his turn to bring Mugsy home. He was SO excited when it was his turn. He spent all afternoon and evening doing some of his favorite things with his new buddy Mugsy.
When he took him back to school this morning, he got to tell the other kids what he did with Mugsy and then got to be the "helper" for the day. As the helper he had quite the list of responsibilities. He got to o weather, calendar, # of days of school, line leader, among several small "jobs" during group time. He was SO excited to be the "star" today, and I was the parent helper in the room today. :)
