Leah Lemur
One of my largest challenges in teaching is remembering the names of all my students. Somehow, I just don't have a great memory for names, even though I can recognize all my students. A few semesters ago, when doing introductions, one of my students said he was "Pete, from Pittsburgh, who likes penguins." I never had a problem remembering his name, so a great name game was born.
This semester, I was Leah Lemur, and a few of my students have continued to call me this even though we're two weeks in to a seven week semester. Of course, I don't mind. Lemurs are pretty awesome animals. After all, in the movie Madagascar, the lemurs had a non-stop dance party to "I like to move it." And what, really, is better than non-stop dance party?

Ring tailed lemurs are awesome! Ever since we went to the Issaquah zoo I have been planning to go there -- but only on ringtailed enrichment day. I can't wait to hear their sounds again. :)
