What an inspirational story of volunteerism. We will study this story and ones like it in Zoology this year.

Off to a Great Start
Well my days as a Grizzly have officially begun - School has started, football players are in pads today, and my students seem ready for the new year.
The first days of school are interesting for me. I really try to put time and effort toward getting to know my students and letting them get to know me. I probably goof around too much, but I am hopeful that this allows students that chance to become comfortable with my classroom and my personality. We just participated in a "Chronological Story of Our Lives" activity and it is amazing the difficulties my students face but still show up to school with a smile on their face. My life growing up was a cake-walk compared to what some of these kids are going through.
