New Class Pets

Since our nature walk to the forest, students have been very interested in learning about snails. One of the students brought in a snail that lives in water for us to explore. We are investigating what type of snail this is, and what kind of food it eats. Students wondered if the snail would be lonely, so we introduced a goldfish into the snails' habitat.

Some students placed seashells beside the snail. They noticed that the snail's shell has a similar pattern to the seashells.

One of our students found the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? on our bookshelf and said that the story reminded her of our new pet goldfish. We call this a text to self connection.
