This summer Franky stayed with Mrs. V. and her family. Here are some pictures from his adventures at her house.

Hi Boys and Girls! My name is Franky and I'm your class pet frog. I'm not as mobile as Smoky, but I'm magical. I like to tell stories about my adventures at your houses, but I need you to write for me. I'll whisper in your ear. I have had a lot of fun with Mrs. V.'s family this summer! I just got back from a trip to the Ozarks. I got to visit Mrs. V.'s son , Eric. Mrs. V. and Paige went para-sailing! I watched from the water. I swam in Mrs. V.'s pool a lot because I LOVE water!! I also got terrorized by her two dogs, Marley and Annie. Mrs. V. made me help Paige fold towels and underwear! Yuck! I only borrowed a few cookies when they went to bed. Now I am so excited to come to your houses this year! But please don't make me do chores! Love, Franky

Franky the Frog is another class pet who even gets to go home with every student throughout the year! Franky gets to do a lot of different things with a lot of different families! He has had quite an adventure this summer with Mrs. V.'s family! He is helping me write in his journal about all the things we did this summer! Then I will share it with all of you on the first day of school! When he comes to your house watch out though...he likes to steal any cookies you might have in your cupboards!
