Where The Wild Things Are

Yes there are a lot of WILD things in fifth grade, but today there was a rare (thank the Lord) exception. We had a snake visitor named Heidi. She and her owner Mrs. Bryan shared a ton of cool information with us about vertebrates, reptiles, and more specifically snakes.

Some of us that aren't scared of snakes had a little meet and greet with Heidi. (Note to self...don't let someone 1 1/2 feet shorter than you take your picture, you will look like a GIANT!)


Some others, were very brave to get up close and personal with Heidi



Then others could not be convinced, no way, no how! (Just look at that expression on his face, priceless!)



We also read a great book today with fabulous illustrations. The author, Arthur Dorros, does an excellent job of mixing fun words with actual science concepts. What if a fungus ate our school?
