Since each grade level met their reading goal for the Read-a-Thon, Dr. Marchino had to eat a feast of gross animal foods. For pre-kindergarten he ate a mealworm; kindergarten he ate frog legs; 1st grade he ate cow intestines; in 2nd grade he ate a cricket; for 3rd grade he ate octopus; the worst was 4th grades pigs feet; in 5th he ate rabbit, sorry bugs; and finally the adults had him eat tongue.  It was quite interesting and after words Dr.

In order: worm, frog, intesting, cricket, octopus, Pig feet, rabbit, tongue.
If worms are prepared correctly, they're not bad. Whatever!
The worm is going in! YUCK!
Frog does taste like chicken.
A little cow intestine to flavor the Feast!
Crickets, They gave me wings! Crunchy!
Finishing up with the Tongue. Not bad for an afternoon snack.
We could not have done this reading Rumpus with out our wonderful parents and Mrs. McClellan. Thanks for all of your work.

Reptiles for the Wild Reading Rumpus!

Mr. and Mrs. Noisum visited our school today with a few of their slithering friends. We had two african Pythons join us today during Sunshine Club. The students learned a lot about the snakes and how they live.  Many of the students got a chance to touch the animals. What a great show!  Check out the pictures!

These snakes eat rats. I love these snakes!
7 and 16 years old, that's pretty good for cold-bloods in Colorado.
Is it slimy? I'll find out!
Touch it, I dare you!

Wild life comes to Fort Lewis Mesa!

As part of our Wild Reading Rumpus Read-a-Thon we will have several presentations from our parents and community members. Today, during sunshine club, Ethan Flores' dad Leland came in with animal pelts, skulls, antlers, horns, and much more for the students to touch and interact with during Sunshine Club.  The students learned a little more about the animals they read about and see in the wild.  It was an exciting time for all! 

Thanks Mr. Flores for your demonstration and for helping to inspire our students!
