I have not made many friends here yet because I just got here, but back in New York, I was very close with the people that I worked with at my old school Upstate Elementary.  We had a very close group of friends that spent every spare moment coming up with engaging activities to use with our students.  We were all very involved in our jobs as teachers.  We liked to plan field trips to science museums and outdoor facilities for environmental learning. 
     I was an only child and when I moved out of my parents house, they moved to Belize to do research for a scientific research group.  I plan to visit them sometime throughout this year and hope to assist them in their explorations.  Perhaps they will even come visit us sometime and tell you all about their experiences.
    In my short stay here so far, I have come across some very interesting creatures.  My favorite one of all that I have seen often is a green frog with big orange eyes.  I am not yet sure what particular species it is.  Maybe you can help me find out!  Here is a picture of my friend:
