This week we went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. The sea creatures inspired me! Off to make some new units! By the way, this aquarium was seriously awesome! I have been to many aquariums and this one was really good.
I thought I was touching a hammerhead shark and I thought I was going to live to tell about it. Then I found out that shark is not a hammerhead baby, but a bonnet head (a cousin of the hammerhead). Whatever!
So this is my classroom right now. I always underestimate the time it'll take to get my room set up. I think I'm down to hours left to get my room ready. Not days, hours. We have training all next week and then. . . Oh! Wait! I have 1 day and some hours left.
If you haven't checked out my latest post, I really think you should. I love teaching writing and I want to share my excitement! I've began a series of posts for using mentor texts in writing lessons. See those 6 Traits posters and the My Word Collection book? Free on my blog! Check it out here.
I'm linking up with Whitney from With Love From Texas for a blog hop. Check it out!
