It's A Boy! - Montel


We now have a classroom pet......well, sort of!  While at the Turtle Hospital we adopted a resident turtle named Montel.  Due to his needed extra care, Montel lives (and will always live) in the Turtle Hospital, but the donation made helps to feed and care for him.  We will get a few updates on Mantel throughout the year, but in between updates, we can always check on Montel by visiting the hospital website at https://www.turtlehospital.org/

    Jonathan,
    Thank you from Mrs. Drinan's class! We love Montel! We are glad that he is being taken care of, and that he is a survivor. (Montel is very cute!)
    From your friends in Mrs. Drinan's class

      It was hard to choose a turtle to adopt, but Montel has been through the most, so that is why we chose him.

"Moving Day" - Friday, February 19th

Cudjoe Key to Pompano Beach Today was our "moving day".  We left the Florida Keys after school and drove 180 miles to Pompano Beach, Florida.  Although we had to check out of our vacation home at noon, we still had to figure out how to finish up distance learning for the day before starting our drive.  Luckily there was community center on the property where we stayed, so my mom and dad hooked up my sister and me so that we could finish the final two hours of our school day in Cudjoe Key.  Finish our school day before we leave the Keys Heading back north, off of the Keys, we all enjoyed the scenery of our ride.  Without a doubt, the best view of the drive is on the Seven Mile Bridge.  To be honest, it was sort of sad to say good-bye to this bridge, but we were also looking forward to our next stay - Pompano Beach. Seven Mile Bridge During our drive, we made a stop on Islamorada Key at a place called "Robbie's of Islamorada".  Robbie's is a waterfront watersp

  Our Florida "classroom" For the remainder of our time in Pompano Beach, we sort of had the same routine every day.  We decided to stay closer to our hotel to enjoy the rest of our time there and simply just enjoy the beach and the pool each day.  Of course, before we could enjoy that, my sister and I had a full day of distance learning (and my dad had a full dad of working remotely too). But once school was over for the day, we either went to the beach (which was just outside of our hotel) or we spent time at the hotel's pool.  Sand castles Hotel pool While at the beach, I either worked on sand castles or boogie boarded in the waves.  One day, however, my mom took me out on a jet ski and that was a lot of fun.  I have included a video of us leaving on the jet ski.  In the video, we are going very slow because my mom had to drive the jet ski through a "swim zone" first, but eventually, when we got further away from shore we were able to go pretty fast and it wa

Pompano Beach, Florida - Saturday, February 20th

  A view of the Atlantic Ocean from our hotel room's balcony My mom always says that anywhere near the water is her happy place.  I have to admit, I can see why she says this.  Of course, being able to be in the warmth and sunshine right now isn't so bad either, especially when there is snow in Connecticut.  Since my mom needed to head out to do some grocery shopping for the week and also since we had done a ton of adventuring over the past few days, we decided that this day would be a perfect day to hang out and enjoy our hotel. While my mom went grocery shopping I was in the pool with my dad.  I stayed in the pool pretty much the entire day, with my mom and sister joining me later.   We could also see our hotel's pool from our balcony My mom got some prepared food, from Whole Foods for dinner that we ate in our room.  Dinner in our hotel room After dinner we went to the beach.  Yes, it was already dark outside, but that was part of the plan.  My mom packed some wiffle bal
