Mojo

We voted and the kids named him Mojo! How cute is that!?!? I love the creativity of their little minds! :)

Our New Classroom Friend

This is our new classroom pet. I am waiting on "it" to warm up a little more before I try to find out if it is a boy or girl. I forgot to ask at Petsmart. BUT I know the kids will want to know before we vote on the name. :) It is a syrian dwarf hamster. I CANNOT wait to show our little friend to my kids on Monday. They are going to be sooooooooooo excited! Pets teach great responsibility & are awesome writing prompts.
