The Update! Break, Sea World, Scorpions, & 100th day of school!

Wow.  It's been awhile again!  Life gets busy and the blogging gets less and less!  I have a bunch of pictures to show what's been happening here (and MN for Christmas.)  Enjoy the pictures!

Minnesota Break (a white, cold Christmas!)










Back to the heat!  AZ

My record for the 5mi with a 150 story mountain climb!

SeaWorld!  (Free tickets just for me the AZ teacher! Woot!)







The story of the Lizard and Scorpion.

Have you ever heard the story about the lizard and the scorpion?  Probably not because it is one I just made.  One of my students brought in a scorpion as a class pet, and when he did, there was another animal in the cage:  A cute little lizard.  I believe it was a gecko but this was essentially scorpion food.  Many of my 3rd graders thought it was a cage with 2 pets...In that a lot of my teacher friends liked the lizard more and felt so bad for it.  So after a lot of 3rd graders feeling sad for it, and a team of 3rd grade teachers wanting the lizard to be freed, I eventually freed it.

Scorpion and the gecko in the same house...looks scared. 

FREEDOM!!!!

The sad scorpion lost it's meal...Crickets instead. 

The 100th day: (dress like you're 100 years old!)
