Since Riley is no longer with us, we’ve adopted the squirrels in our yard. Peanut is our favorite and comes a few times a week to stock up on nuts. He is very sweet and comes to Riley’s old ledge and looks in the window, asking for nuts. The kids love to throw some out and watch him eat. Word has spread and we’ve had as many as 4 at one time and that’s when we stop feeding the squirrels. We have a crazy one who has lunged at the window when we’ve opened it, so he gets no nuts! They are very entertaining :o). 
Our other animal adventure was watching all the animals in Reggie’s classroom. They got to see chickens hatching right out of their eggs, the tadpole grow in to a frog and the caterpillars die in their jars (they didn’t make it). It was so much fun to go in every day and see what was new. Since Mrs. Pierson asked us to get the tadpoles, I felt responsible and became the keeper of the tadpoles and fed/cleaned the tank. It was really fun to watch them change. We had a female who decided to lay eggs which was really exciting. We had already let our other frog go, so we put the rock with all her eggs in the other kindergarten classroom. She had at least 10 tadpoles, so we were hoping that one of the males would step up. We put the rock back in the creek, so who knows. The other classroom lost a frog that jumped out of its bowl and was MIA! They were the tiniest frogs I have ever seen and I was shocked that Reggie and Ainsley wanted to hold the frog before we let it go back in the creek. We might do that at home next year :o).
