Big News!  We have a new class pet.  Gumball is our class fish.  She is a Guppy.  She had a rather interesting day today: as I was changing out her water, she jumped out of the small bowl I had her in.  She jumped out onto the counter, then to the floor.  I of course was freaking out, and ran down the hallway for help.  Help arrived and Grumball is back in her bowl and seems to be doing well.  If she can live through that, she's amazing!!! ;)
