*Students love hearing about my Furbabies!
*We use their names as passwords in Read Theory
*"BleuGrizzly" is also our Classroom Management Tool (if we need a lower voice, refocus, or attention on the teacher... I say "BleuGrizzly" instead of "Quiet Down, Stop Talking, etc." It's much more POSITIVE and students IMMEDIATELY respond!)
*Bleu and Grizzly are PROOF that "EVERYONE" can learn and be the best version of themselves. Both were rescues. Some might have given up on them -- but with guidance, love, and belief...they are the BEST versions of themselves!
