We have a class pet! He looks just like the fish in the picture. So today I took nominations for the fish’s name. Here is how the conversation went:

“Blue Fish!”

“Light Blue!”

“Blue!”

“Sky!”

(I would redirect their thinking…they were reeeally stuck on this blue thing…)

“Shark!”

“Little Shark!”

“Big Sharky!”

(another redirection…)

“Pretty!”

“Beautiful!”

“Butterfly!”

“Butterball!”

“Nemo!”

“Elmo!”

“Robin Hood!”

“Peppermint!”

“Pokey!”

“Happy!”

So…I narrowed it down, and tomorrow we will all vote. The fish will either be named…

Peppermint

or

Butterball

I am so excited. My students are great. I wish I could talk more about them without getting sued, but I would rather not go to special ed jail!
