Teaching in the science house has been fun, but let me tell you....I am ready for my classroom to be built!
These animals are so neat to look at, but half of them are trying to escape and you can hear them clawing at the side of their cage, Xena the snake is shedding, and Yoshi the Leopard Gheko is nocturnal, so when he comes out there becomes a ruckus in the classroom... the list goes on...
Each morning we say good morning to all the animals!
Good Morning Marge (Bearded Dragon)
Good Morning Althea and Arturo (Turtles)
Good Morning Emery, Zander, and Rocky (Green Anoles)
Good Morning Xena (Corn Snake)
Good Morning Schmoe (Corn Snake)
Good Night Yoshi (Leopard Gecko)
and we get on with our day... I always hope...
Whenever it is time to rotate math or reading stations, they take a little bit longer when the kids have to walk past all the animals on the way to the locker room (the dining room off of the living room where we are). I always have to redirect, or give in and let the kids have "animal viewing" time. This is a really neat experience for the kids and I do truly enjoy that they love looking at the animals and ask so many questions.... but sometimes I just want to teach and have all their eyes on ME! The animals are pretty cool though...
Xena is going to get so much brighter once she sheds her skin!
This is a "before" photo of her!
Geckos clawing their way across the ceiling, never thought they could make so much noise!
