Goodbye Cedar Cliff!

Wow, I had a busy week here at Cedar Cliff! I got to explore the city, the school, and even see my owner during my stay here. I had so much fun! I wish I could stay longer, but I’m leaving soon to visit my next stop, South Elementry! I can’t wait! Goodbye Cedar Cliff!

My day around Cedar Cliff

Hey, it’s Morpheus checking in again! Boy did I have a busy day at Cedar Cliff. I got to work in the school store, and I even got to try on a foam finger and a hat to show my school spirit. Then I got to go down to the office where I met the nice nurse and the school principal Mr. Savidge. He let me sit in his office, so I knew what it would feel like to get in big trouble. Next, I got to meet the guidance counselor Mrs. Gray. She told me that I need to come out of my shell. The rest of the day I did other cool stuff like visit the cafeteria ladies, visit the library, shake hands with the Sergeant, and even get my picture taken with all the school trophies. Probably the most exciting part of my day, however, was meeting the other turtles in the school. I got to meet and learn about the endangered bog turtles, and I even got to see my cousin the snapping turtle. I had so much fun!

Field Trip to Harrisburg, PA

Morpheus here! I just got back from my trip to Harrisburg, and it was great! We visited the Capital building, and there was a cool fountain on the outside I got to see. Then I went to Strawberry Square. That was a lot of fun. After that, I went to the Whitaker center. There was a lot of cool science stuff and an iMax theater with a HUGE screen. Finally, we walked along the Susquehanna River and my fantastic day was over. Well, it’s time for me to get going again, I can’t wait to tell you about my day at Cedar Cliff!

First Field Trip - Central PA

Hey, it’s Morpheus again! I just got back from my field trip on Saturday with Mr. Snyder. I had an awesome time! I was very surprised and excited when I got to see my owner Mr. Lutz again. I also met Mrs. Wissing. We went to Adamstown, which is about an hour away from my stay in Harrisburg. They took me to dinner at this cool restaurant called Black Angus, and I got to listen to them talk about all their teacher stuff. It was cool! I better get going so I can get some sleep for my trip to Harrisburg. Morpheus out!

Arrival in Central Pennsylvania

I finally arrived in central Pennsylvania today at Cedar Cliff High School! I’m right outside the State Capital, Harrisburg. I hear I might even get to go explore the city soon! Well, I have to go now, but I’ll be sure to keep you up to date on my trip!

My Week In Damascus

Wow! I was busy! I helped the third graders plant tulip bulbs, estimate and count pumpkin seeds, write stories about the PTA Reflection theme, I Can Make A Difference," read stories, learned about adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers, played Webkinz with some friends who earned a rewards, and enjoyed many hugs and snuggles! During my last day I spent time in a first grade class where I enjoyed a nice story and then even got to go on the playground with them! I think the time I spend in shipping will give me time to rest for my next location! Good bye, Damascus! Keep reading my blog to keep track of me!

Arrived in Damascus, PA

I arrived safely in Northeastern PA in a small town called Damascus. Did you know that I am only 2 minutes from New York state and the Delaware River! The third graders think I am cute and that I might look like some guy named Franklin! It looks like I am going to be very busy!

Moving on, singing song

I've had a great time visiting East Forest! During my last days there I helped the students to post their first podcast which was really fun. If you want to subscribe, you can use this feed: feeds.feedburner.com/MusicMontage. If you listen closely to the first episode you will hear me singing along. Now I know all the continents and I can find them on the map too.

Before I left, I stopped in the lobby to say good bye to my friend, the East Forest Bear. The East Forest Bear is a black bear. These bears are very common in Pennsylvania and their population is increasing.

Now I'm on my way to Damascus School. I'm really looking forward to meeting Mrs. Sheldon and her class! I'll keep you updated!

Goodbye East Forest!
Hello Damascus!

Morpheus makes Music

Hello, Everyone!

Right now, I’m having a great time East Forest School in Marienville, PA. Our teacher here is Mrs. Pospisil. I’ve been hangin’ out in the music room, meeting lots of new people, and learning all kinds of new things. This week I learned a song to help me remember the names of all 50 states. I also learned about rondo form and ostinatos. I got to work in the computer lab where I learned some interesting facts about music history and I’m also helping make radio shows about jazz! Today I got to take a close look at a tuba and help the first graders record a song. I’ll be posting some of these projects on my wiki soon.



In the evenings, I’ve been taking walks in the forest with TooToo, our teacher’s dog. She’s a golden retriever. In Marienville, there are lots of trees and lots of farms. It’s near the Allegheny National Forest and Cook Forest State Park. The leaves are starting to change colors and it’s just beautiful here right now!


Tonight we’re having a thunder storm. I was a little bit scared at first but now I’m getting used to it. It’s really kind of fun to watch the lightning flash through the sky and listen to the thunder. You have to be careful though – safety first!


More about my adventures coming soon!

Morpheus goes to the Philadelphia Zoo

Hey Morpheus here! Before I leave on my journey I got a chance to visit the Philadelphia Zoo and it was awesome! I got to visit with my cousins the Tortoise and see lots of cool animals.



I loved the elephants, they are so big and their trunks are very useful, wish I had one! I also saw bats, snakes, monkeys, birds, bears, otters, and so much more, check out the pictures I took below. The zoo was a great place to visit I wonder what other exciting places I am going to visit on my journey! I am so excited I can not wait! I am leaving real soon to my next school! Keep checking the site and see what exciting things I do and see!
