Every year I buy a new ornament (or two or three . . .) for the tree. Some of them represent something that has happened in the last year; some are just cute. Here is this year's ornament. Last spring I did a really fun squirrel project with my second graders and found out that squirrels can be right or left handed. Now every time I see one I'm trying to get close enough to tell what hand/paw it's using. I'm a little obsessed with squirrels. In a good way of course.
