Learning to care for living things in our classroom.



The children have been taking care of our classroom fish since Mrs. B brought them into our room in October. Throughout the day, many children check in on them.  Some have read stories by them and drew pictures and a new child is chosen to feed the fish each day.
After losing two fish in a week, we decided that we needed to figure out what was happening in our tank. One of our students thought we needed to give them clean water. So Miss McKay brought in a syphon she uses to clean her tanks at home and a small group of children were excited to help out.



WOW, a clean fish tank!  Miss McKay added some Water Snails to help keep our tank clean.



WORMS


Early in November during a misty Outdoor Learning time, a group of students went on a worm hunt with Mrs. DeYoung.  


When we brought in our small collection of worms, the students decided we needed to give them a "Worm House."  

After some research on our classroom iPad, we decided we needed to get them some more dirt, water, rocks and grass. The students said they needed to hide and slither through dirt and grass. They also knew worms liked water because they always found them after it rained.
