Mrs. Penfield’s third grade class has a pet gecko named Beans. Earlier this school year, Beans managed to escape from her cage and disappeared. The entire school kept an eye out, but after a while we thought Beans might be gone for good.
But last week brought a big surprise… Fran found Beans in the boiler room — alive and well!
Beans is now safely back in Mrs. Penfield’s classroom, where the third graders are keeping a close eye on her and making sure her cage is closed properly every day.
A huge thank you to Fran for rescuing our missing gecko!
And Beans… please stay put this time! 🦎💚
