The Hands of Giants

Forgot to write about our new class pet, a new turtle. At first I was a little scared about how Barton might react to this new turtle, but the first thing he did to him was cover him up, like the little one was his son.

His name is Roberto, named by George (who caught him) after Roberto Clemente, the greatest baseball player ever to live. Does this kid know how to get on my good side or what?

Thus far, Roberto and Barton have made 5-1 a very popular place. Now we just have to get his feeding times under control, and get a screen over his tank (hey, we used to have one of those...). The kids like to put their hands in the tank, which is freaking Roberto out.

That's awesome Barton has a friend now. He did seem awful lonely in there. Nice close to the year.
