Friday, Schmiday... We Have A Snake!

SAY HELLO TO OUR LITTLE FRIEND
We adopeted her Friday. She is an Okatee Albino Corn Snake. She is about 2+ years old, 22 inches long, and eats mice. We thawed a frozen one to feed her. The children were fascinated by this act of nature. Not one of them exhibited one bit of fear. Though a few did pop out of their chairs when she struck the mouse and coiled around it. This week we will give her a name and learn more about her.

FORMULA FOUR RACING
The most popular morning activity was a gravity grand prix constructed of big blocks. Students built cars and raced them down the track. Idries especially enjoyed delcaring each person's car "The Winnerrrrr!" as they jumped the crocodile pit and rolled down the finish ramp and across the floor.



TODAY'S STORY
The Wolf Who Cried Boy, by Jeffrey Dinardo. The classic tale reversed to the animal kingdom. A young wolf cub learns that boredom is no excuse to cause panic among his friends. When they disguise themselves as a large boy, he learns his lesson. The students found it most amusing that "wild" animals would be afraid of children.
