Giant Microbes--plush toys

Joanna has a wonderful biology teacher, Ms. B. She describes herself as ADD, and from open house I believe it must be true. She is in constant motion, speaking in a stream of conscious that not only communicates the lesson, but lots of other fun facts and random connections.

Today Joanna told me about Ms. B's plush e-coli microbe, and how she someday wants to get the ebola. This led me to the Giant Microbes website. What a hoot!
