I remember when the school pets were hamsters and fish....
“Good Morning students. Today we have a special project for dissection in biology class..”
Quick! Someone ping the “Another reason to homeschool” list.
I had a gator a few years ago that had crawled through a window to my wood shop and nested in the sawdust under a table saw.
Tuesday Lunch: Fried Gator
Look at everything as an opportunity - Alligator tail steaks and quality leather.
Tastes like chicken. Honest.
A friend who is a marine biologist was telling me about a trip he took to an Australian zoo. They had a pond containing American Alligators. The zoo attendant went inside and petted the alligators. When he asked why they didn’t have Australian alligators called Salties in the zoo, the attendant took him to another pond and as they approached the gate, the Salties inside came forward and tried to attack.
In first grade, we had hermit crabs until one day when a classmate tried to kiss one, and it latched onto his lip :-)
Some people just gotta learn the hard way.
As long as the alligator doesn’t mention anything about God while on school property, he should be okay.
The croc was shopping for a place to live.
Quick someone Kill and dress that puppy. I will fire up the grill for the Gator steaks and kabobs, and get the Roux simmering for the Gumbo!!!! We gonna eat nice tonight!!!
The gator was considered dangerous and thrown off the school property....He had a bible..
“Good Morning students. Today we have a special project for dissection in biology class..”
As a teacher I tend to look at everything as a “teachable moment”, so this is no different....
Biology - as mentioned above PLUS saving the skeleton
FACS - Several different ways to cook it AND leather to make shoes, purses, wallets, belts and hats
Business - Marketing the things made in FACS and accounting for how to price items as well as determining prices.
Vocational Tech - tanning of the hide for FACS
Go Gators!
I knew DFWGATOR would like this ....!
Heh heh especially after the whupping we gave FAU last night in the college baseball regional finals.
Mary had a little alligator.
Its teeth were white as snow...
