Happy Spring Break

Hey guys,

Sorry I have been off the grid for so long, just been catching up on a lot of work and getting into the rhythm of working at Audubon's after school program.  I thought I would try and post something that I found interesting, scientific, or cool.  During my time over the past two weeks not teaching I have been doing a lot of reading so I thought I would recommend a book to all of you guys - The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer.

This book is about a young boy named Matt that is a clone of a drug lord named El Patron.  Since El Patron holds so much power, he has created a clone that has its full mental ability unlike the others that have been created to only perform only a few tasks.  This book is about forming an identity and the struggle a person goes through to survive who is different then everyone else. I highly recommend this book because I could not put the book down from the moment I picked it up and I think you guys will feel the same way.  

I will be better in the future about posting topics that I think you all will enjoy.  Have a safe spring break and enjoy your time off.

Mr. Bean
