this is how I left my table
stacks of papers to be graded
my fave teacher book... 10 things by Jeff Anderson
TELPAS booklet (put it in a locked closet before I left... can't risk losing that)
my to do list almost all checked off... HOLLA
ticket jar, bug house, and stamps
everyday I'm shuffling
cue dancing hamsters
and this is how I left my desk
not too bad but still
a shuffling
why in such a hurry?
to leave on a Friday?
had to grab some
me time at Chuys
with my girls!!!!
**************************************last time***********************************
just wanted to share a website with you before I leave you on this LuVeRLy Saturday
it is BEEUUUTEEFULL here in my neck of the woods
cue Al Rocker
my kids are obsessed with this website... it is
this website has live animal cams
that are stationed all over the states and other countries too
my class enjoys watching the birds
especially the hummingbird (Phoebe), the owls, the bald eagle, and the wood duck
we are currently obsessed and watching 2 birds and their eggs hatching any day now...
the wood duck who has a clutch of 18 eggs that are due to hatch NOW
and the Decorah Bald Eagle who has 3 eggs in a 6 ft wide nest high in the sky!!!
I keep this site on during the day and we LOVE watching it!!!
Each cam site will give you an estimated hatch day and we LOVE it!!!
NOT TO MENTION it gives you an up close and personal perspective of the different nesting, incubation, learned traits, inherited traits, and mothering / fathering duties..... it is AWESOME!!!
we learned Pheobe's eggs are the size of tic tacs
I gave each kid 2 tic tacs (she had 2 eggs) and they were just amazed
her nest is the size of a golf ball... and built in a rose bush... so COOL!!!
this is probably my favorite thing too!!!
I love having this on throughout the day...
a BUNCH of us in my hallway have this on
and we each have our favorites
I keep the sound on... BUT it does break in with commercials... so you might have to mute it!!
when hatch day gets REALLY close you want the sound on b/c you can hear chirps when they are about to pip through...
AWWWWWW
hope you go an try it out!!!
well I think that is IT!!!
go check out my birds... I am sure you will fall in love too!!!
