Title: Went to School Thursday
Post by: Humptulips on May 25, 2012, 07:39:58 PM: I spent the day at Chloe Clark Elementary School talking to the kids about trapping and furs. One class at a time total of about 220 kids.
The kids were great and loved the furs I had to show them. Have to say I think I had as much fun as the kids.
A few pictures I took.

Post by: Humptulips on May 28, 2012, 01:31:53 PM: I specifically remember one little girl that had her brow furrowed up and a disapproving look about her. That changed and when she got a chance to touch the fur she was as excited as everone else.
Fielded a couple of difficult questions but I was honest and the kids accepted the answers pretty well.

I don't know where Chloe Clark Elementary School is but I'm guessing it's not in the Seattle School system.... :yike:

Just south of Tacoma at Dupont.

Toughest questions I had involved where I got the animals and why they were killed. Hard to put it in terms a 1st grader understands but I think they came away with an understanding without upsetting them.
One thing I won't lie and tell them a fairy tale.

Funniest question or at least it tickled me. I have an old felt hat with sweat stains that I wore to the school. It was raining and I need a warm hat for my bald spot. I took it off in school and laid it on a chair with my jacket back out of the way. One little boy asked "What happened to your hat" My answer " It got old" Then the next little boy asks "Can I have it"
