D'awwwww ... KITTY!!! I only managed to get to the zoo once during the 5 1/2 years I lived in the Minneapolis area, and that was during the late fall ... I remember particularly enjoying the bird house and the aquarium ... :-)
I had the same teacher for 3rd and 5th grade; during 4th grade the teacher who normally taught kindergarten got a wild hair and took my class, which drove her right back to kindergarten, 'cause my class was the "bad" class - we had way too many extremely clever, but very lazy, children in it and ... well ... when she got us back in 5th grade, Mrs. Johannes had to start us over where we had finished with her in 3rd ... Heh. *waves to Mrs. Johannes* She was the best ... it is due to her that I'm such a fan of fantasy and sci fi - thanks to The Chronicles of Prydain and The Dark is Rising - both of which she introduced the class to by reading a book from the series to us after lunch - daily reading to us was one of the favorites of the whole class.
