The Best Empawyee Ever
Princess Ladybug Lindsey, otherwise known as Bug, kept me sane during the initial days of the pandemic when I was teaching from my bedroom office. I could talk to her just like a coworker, bounce ideas off her cute little furry head, pick her up when a prop was needed and use her as an ongoing excuse to go take a walk outside. It was wonderful. She agreed with all my ideas, never questioned my lesson plans, got more excited than my students did and worked her little nose to the grindstone all day long. She was the consummate paraprofessional as I “attempted” to teach struggling readers to read on Zoom. This task was no easy feat and believe me Bug got me through some of the most trying times with my kiddos. I’ve taught reading for 25 years and never have I ever struggled as much as I did last year. My experience teaching beginning readers from a computer made my decision to retire a great deal easier last spring.

Strangest Looking Creatures
Mammals Naked Mole-Rat The naked mole-rat is an animal that has no fur and is nearly blind. These animals live underground in colonies similar to insects. Their nearest relatives are porcupines, chinchillas, and guinea pigs. Not completely bald they have about 100 fine hairs on their bodies acting like whiskers to help them get around. The hairs found between their toes help the naked mole rats to move soil between them while they are digging tunnels. They are among the longest living of all rodents and can live for nearly 30 years and have an amazing resistance to cancer.

Silly Pet Costumes
This year for Halloween, I will be dressing up my dog up as a pineapple in a fruit basket . Last year, I put her in a bandana and cowboy hat and said she was her namesake. My first dog, who passed away last year, had been a queen, a mermaid, a dinosaur, and Superman. She didn’t much like being dressed in costumes, but the pictures were cute, and got all those likes on Facebook and Instagram.
