The Vote Is In!

Our class voted today during our Morning Meeting on the name of our new class pet.  We used the new voting tool on the Epson.  Every student got to go up to the board and use the epson pen to place their vote.  Once everyone selected their choice, we closed the voting and the computer system generated a bar graph of the results.  Here is the breakdown.

Benny...8
M&M...7
Nibbles...7
Little Lightening...4

Please help us welcome BENNY to our classroom!

Our New Class Pet

It's the Homecoming week and we're all getting ready, then the next thing we know we have a class pet.  Our little pet is a guinea pig.  His name is Benny, and he's brownish-gray with cute, big eyes.  He lives in a two story cage in the back of our room to nibble here, nibble there, and nibble everywhere.  But we didn't just get this little guy.  We had to work hard in specials to get a good report on how we did.  After a few weeks we had enough good reports and the grant came in.  So he's in our classroom, in his house, in luxury (well almost).
                                                                              
P.S.  We are going to need more bedding if you have any.  Thanks!
