Groot the Bearded Dragon

Groot the Bearded Dragon was my friendly classroom pet. She loved to be held and fed by students during class. Groot went home with a student in 2023.
Groot #2's birthday is Sep 1, 2019.

Groot is usually pretty chill. She likes to hang out on tables and crawl around during class.

But sometimes she gets hungry goes crazy for some greens!

One student sculpted, fired, and glazed a ceramic replica of Groot for a project in AP Art:
