Perhaps you've already heard about our little first grade friend, but I thought I'd introduce you to Mr. Geckhardt. Mr. Geckhardt is our classroom pet, and he is a Leopard Gecko (Gecko + Eckhardt = Geckhardt!). He watches us while we're learning, and when we save up our classroom money, we can pay for the privilege of getting him out and holding him. Holding Mr. Geckhardt costs 85 cents, so first graders must save up their money for a while for this privilege!
Mr. Geckhardt is used to being held these days, and he's very calm and relaxed about it. This little guy has inspired a lot of wonderful writing, too!
