Mr. Davo Devil meets Monty Moose in B.C.

Mr Davo Devil Mrs. Boekhout's Classroom2Kids

Hi everyone!

I’ve been having a SUPER time here in Coquitlam, BC, Canada!  I snuck out to do a little sight seeing with my new pal, Monty Moose!  Actually, Mrs. Nielsen was kind enough to share me for a bit with Mrs. Boekhout and her Grade 2 class.   Monty Moose, Woody Beaver, and Timber Wolf have ALL been to Australia!  As a matter of fact, Haida Bear is on an extended exchange trip with Wilbur Wombat right now!

It seems that Australia is where Mrs. B’s “Travelling Stuffies” first started their adventures… Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia!  Mrs. B. even named her stuffie website, “The CanOz Connection“!  Of course Monty is such a seasoned traveller now, that he has his own website too! MontyMoose.com He even has a FACEBOOK account with tons of other traveling moose stuffies!  I told him that he should think about doing a blog like mine!  He says he is SO behind in his photos that Mrs. B. wouldn’t DARE start something new!  (I’m waiting to see his photo with a BLUE warrior in SCOTLAND!)

Anyway, I’ve had a super time learning about the Pacific Northwest Coast  Temperate Rainforest area. (Yes… it sure does rain a lot, but it doesn’t get too hot or too cold.)   I even helped out with a “Tracking Trash” activity where the kids wrote down all the garbage they picked up around the school for Earth Week.  I felt good about “giving back” to the Earth!  These Canadian kids are really nice and they try hard to help out “Mother Nature”.   It was fun in the classroom because they have lots of pets and plants and STUFFIES!!!

Hope you enjoy the little slideshow we put together of my visit!
I am having a GREAT time, but I miss my home too!

Mr Davo Devil activity to do

Hello from British Columbia, Canada!  We (Grade Ones) were so surprised and excited to receive Mr. Davo Devil last week!  Mr. Davo is a darling and has made a new stuffie friend, Monty the Moose!  Davo is friendly and quite quiet- lol!  The children have made Davo another pipe cleaner beaded necklace which he will wear on his travels!  As well, Davo has a Canadian Flag earring on!  Friday, we will be sending Mr. Davo off on another journey to GA, USA.  Thank you for sending Mr. Davo to us!  We learned a lot about Tasmanian Devils and made a new friend!

My First Day in Harwich

Mr Davo Devil activity to do, Ms Hanna's Class

I went home to Clifton’s house with him and Caleb on the bus. I first played hockey and scored. Then Caleb and I faced off on the Playstation. I ran on the treadmill to burn some calories.  After that I read the Lost Hero and munched on a fudge cookie. I was a superstar playing wiffleball against Caleb and Clifton. I met Bluin the big blue bear, Clifton’s stuffed animal like me. I layed down some funky tunes on the piano. I also met all-star hockey defenseman Zdeno Chara and went to outer space. To end my day I played bongos and pool.

Another Southampton Adventure!

Here’s a report from Claire and her family on the visit by Davo to their home this week.

Hello, there.
I have to say, Davo was a delightful guest. He was treated to a simple afternoon of playing around in the yard and joined us for our first cookout/eat out of the year… in March (!)

We trekked around looking for what’s blooming in the woods and found some rogue crocus and some johnny jump ups.

We let Davo get a closer look at a woodpecker hole

and he worried the hens a bit when we went to collect eggs.

He’s a big fan of the tire swing (Claire held him tight), but we think he likes swings in general.  We found him waiting for a push. 🙂

We wish him well in his journeys. We look forward to following his exploits online and hope he continues to have fun!

I’ve Landed in Western Massachusetts!

Mr Davo Devil activity to do

I had a wonderful time in Ohio and now I’m making a couple of stops in Massachusetts.  That’s in the northeastern part of the United States.  The children in Mrs. Poulin’s Kindergarten class were excited to find me in their mailbox on Monday morning.  I’ll be moving on again at the end of this week.

I know Mrs. Poulin was sorry I never made it to the largest St. Patricks Day Parade with her, but what she didn’t know was I was right there on the other side of the street!  I’d decided to stop by on my own since the mailman couldn’t get me to the school in time.  Here’s a picture that Mrs. Poulin took of Mr. Poulin and their daughter Heather.  The parade was just grand!

   I  am spending the night with one of my new friends Grant,  so I’ll have lots more to talk about in my next post.  I am happy to meet so many new friends and everyone treats me very nicely.  Here is a picture of me with my new friend Grant.   He made me a new collar of colorful beads.Boy is it warm here. Today the temperature was well over 80F and that is record heat for March in this area! The new school garden will be ready for planting in no time but for now we are planting seeds of friendship!

 

Another Ohio Home Visit

Mr Davo Devil Mrs. Williams Class

Hello.  This is me and my new friend Libby.  I spent the night at her house last night.

 

 

 

Libby and Mr. Davo enjoying some sunshine.

 

While Libby did her homework, I hung out in her room and I found a sleeping cat! I wanted to meet the cat so badly; so I decided to wake her up!  Once she was more awake, we talked about ourselves. I discovered her name is Naavah (pronounced: Nah-vah) and that she once lived outside and was starving. Then Libby’s family found her and asked her to live with them. I also discovered we are both carnivores.

 

Naavah is finally waking up

 I got up early this morning and made myself a cup of coffee and sat by the fire. I bet you didn’t think Tasmanian Devils drink coffee!? Anyway, I read about Spirit Bears in a nature magazine Libby lent to me. Did you know that the Spirit Bear lives in a Canadian rain forest on the West Coast? They are white because where they live was once covered in ice and their white fur once helped them to blend in. They are a rare bear. Hahaha, that rhymes!
