Today we had a presentation from a special guest named Lauren. She taught us the fears of going to High school and showed us many ways to overcome them. Some ways were giving us a surprise test to first show us the fear that we may experience, teaching us some techniques to get over these fears, and giving us a chance to learn how to use a lock. She selected two individuals to use these techniques by reaching their hand down a container which contents were unknown. Both individuals were very surprised by what was actually inside!
Daniella got surprised by a jump-snake from the container!
Ethan reached down a pile of mealworms in which he first thought was rice!
After that, Lauren said that she had special guests from Australia, Africa and Asia. To our surprise, these special guests were actually insects and reptiles! Lauren brought these in knowing a lot of people have fears of both of these types of animals. Not only that, but she also made up approach and touch them. Some of these animals were cockroaches, stick-bugs, caterpillars, mealworms, and a blue-tongued lizard. Many people were brave enough to hold these animals in their hands while others were scared and just decided to pet... a few. Here are some pictures of the animals:
It was really fun (and quite scary) and it taught us many things we may need once we enter High school! It was a great experience!
