My students gift me with snake skins that they find near their homes. I laminated several more of them this week. It is interesting to compare the differences between them. The longest one is over six feet!

Second graders hustled inside to tell me that they had seen a turtle near the pond behind the Lower School. It is the time of year that we catch them laying eggs. We had a great discussion about the dangers of picking up or approaching snapping turtles.
