1-15-13 Daily Updates

Another fun day of learning today!  

Today I brought in our family guinea pig, Skittles.  We have been learning about guinea pigs by reading encyclopedia articles about guinea pigs and a story called I Love Guinea Pigs in our reading book.  For those of you who now have a fourth grader begging you to get them a guinea pig for a pet, all I can say is, "I'm sorry!" :0)   For what its worth, I went through that experience when my daughter read this story in fourth grade, too.  Three years later, we have now owned 3 guinea pigs!
