Logan’s Gifts
Logan is happily splashing through muddy puddles on her way to Hopscotch Hill School. As she enters the classroom, she holds up a bunch of big, wet leaves. She announces that she brought two leaves for everyone! Miss Sparks, her teacher, thanks her and says she can hand them out at Show-and-Tell. On her way to the sink to wash them off, she says “Hello” to Razzi, the class’ pet rabbit.
Everybody in the class loves the leaves! Spencer sticks them in his hair like antlers. Hallie puts hers together like butterfly wings. Logan puts the stems in her mouth so they stick out like whiskers. All the children begin to copy Logan.
Miss Sparks tells them it’s not clean to put leaves in their mouths. Besides, they can’t thank Logan for the leaves with them in their mouths. The children all remove the leaves from her mouths and wave a “Thanks” to Logan.
Each week, Logan brings something new for Show-and-Tell. Once, she brought little stones. Another time she brought acorns, and once a ladybug and worm she found in a puddle. Although Logan wanted to keep the ladybug and worm as classroom pets, Miss Sparks said they’d be happier outside. Disappointingly, Logan released them back outside. She’d never want to intentionally hurt an animal.
Razzi was Logan’s favorite animal. Sometimes he isn’t in his hutch because he likes to escape! All the children made a game of trying to spot Razzi when he escapes. Logan believes she’s good at finding Razzi because she knows how to think like a rabbit. She finds him behind the piano, under the reading tub, and in the dress-up castle. And whenever Logan finds Razzi, she gives him a kiss on the nose.
