Welcome to class dear students!
Shall we get started? First off, we will make our Cheer Team a little grumpy because we did in fact AGAIN have four FIRST COMMENTERS yesterday! FOUR! They all popped into comments at 7:51AM EST and they will each get a FIRST COMMENTER badge.
Timmy, Friends Furever, Kolytyi, Oliver/Calvin !!
Way To Go!
It was quite a wonderful Teaser we had too and it was a big surprise that someone guessed it so quickly – our GUEST TEASER was Miss Jackie from TWO DEVON CATS (MEMORIES OF ERIC AND FLYNN) and she had recently returned from a cruise where she’d taken this photo – a new structure so we didn’t think anyone would know where it was! Imagine our surprise when someone popped in with the correct guess. Here’s the photo again:
This is a photo taken from the cruise ship early in the morning light of the Lakhta Center’s almost completed building in the harbour in St. Petersburg, Russia! The building is already occupied by more than one tenant but the main tenant apparently is Gazprom – the Russian gas company – and they have their headquarters here now. If you would be interested in some further information about this incredibly unusual looking spaceship like building, CLICK HERE.
Thank you so much Miss Jackie – it was a VERY VERY cool photo and we sure did have some interesting guesses! This is our THANK YOU for sending us the photo………..
So who was the student who got here first with the CORRECT guess as to where the photo was taken?
SPEEDY !
Yay Speedy – quick like a bunny!
Speedy you constantly amaze all of us with your correct guesses – I think your Mum and Dad must travel the world OR they are very good at getting the right clues from photos then guessing what to search for. Concatulations and here’s your FIRST RIGHT GUESSER badge:
Others guessed correctly too which was GREAT and deserves a badge too don’t you think? Please copy this for yourself if you guessed St. Petersburg, Russia:
If you guessed but were wrong you STILL get a badge for trying…………………
Now our cheer team will do their best to squeeze out a cheer for all of our winners! Team? I hope you are no longer water-logged from using Sarge’s hot tub yesterday????
Yeah I’ll give you a hug if you make it QUICK.
Alright students. That wraps up another exciting episode of TEASER for this week………….hope you enjoyed yourselves and now you can have lunch and head home on the bus until next Geography class! Miss Dingleberry has Italian Day set up for you…………….I’m sure there’s something on the menu you’ll enjoy.
Choice of gelato or cannoli for dessert!
I bet Rachel picked the name Speedy for a reason… as fast as a lightning, Congrats Captain Speedy!!!!!

Maybe since its the gas company that wants to ‘live’ in there, well, they’d best be careful cause it sure does look ready to blast off and gas would be great fuel, MOL!

That was a PERFECT search term – and that’s the clue to correctly guessing – knowing what to search for. It’s just too danged easy to pop the photo into some image search program and that’s why we ask people NOT to do it. It’s way more fun searching for different things in a photo you see and seeing what pops up!
