 * Precipitation**: none

 * Story**: The day is cloudy and cold outside, but it is very green inside our classrooms with everyone wearing green for St. Patrick's Day! The five sections of first grade all took their temperature measurements and we then average them to come up with 46º F. Several of our classes are following the Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race in Alaska and the temperature there was -3ºF with snow showers!

We are located on the banks of the Mississippi River and we have a hotel with "marching ducks" in the lobby (the Peabody hotel)! We are known as the "home of the blues" and the "birthplace of rock and roll" and Elvis Presley's real home Graceland is here. We have delicious bar-b-q and a fun street called "Beale Street" and a pair of panda bears (our zoo is one of only 4 in the US with pandas!). The Memphis Zoo also has polar bears and a new exhibit called "Teton Trek" with grizzly bears, wolves, and elk.
