Today our 1st graders were visited by Mrs. Sorci who came to share the story of Winter the Dolphin. She taught the students about how her company made a prosthetic tail so Winter could swim. The students made the connection to the story they read in reading class called "Pierre the Penguin." In the story, Pierre lost his feathers and they made him a wet suit so he wouldn't be cold and could swim.
