The freeze has broken
Chaotic chorus assails-
Spreading warm Welcomes!

Past the tree branches
Extended gnarly fingers,
Buttery sun melts

Our class pet turtle, Truffle, is having a sleepover at my house over winter break. She got to meet my pet axolotl, Red Velvet, who seemed briefly curious before going back to minding her own business. My living room sounds almost like Niagara Falls with the filters…

Today we welcomed our new class pet (which we went to pick out during lunch), now named Truffle! She is very much adored by her human classmates and teachers 😁

Our class was fascinated by City of Leafcutter Ants @amyhevron.bsky.social today as we read this 2nd book for our #SibertSmackdown! These are our notes—

If you want a MG book that’s creepy but funny, & deep down it’s really about being true to your culture & heritage- you’re in for a treat! Mari & the Curse of El Cocodrilo @adriannacuevas.bsky.social captivated me w an inimitable cast of characters. Peak Cubanity!
