Since we began studying about the ocean and animals that live in salt and fresh water, we got a class pet: a hermit crab! He is yet to be named! We'll be working on that tomorrow! The students helped put everything together and love to observe and journal about him. We read the book, A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle today in class. Adorable book! We also sponge painted our own hermit crabs which will be displayed in our room shortly!
Brave young lady! I was so... proud of her for wanting to pick him up and put him into his new home!
First student to feed our class pet!
He helped fill up the "Little Crab" pool!
...Placing a larger shell in his home to move into when he outgrows his current USMC shell!
Placing the "Little Crab" pool into the cage.
Filling up with special sand which contains vitamins and nutrients for the little guy!
All of the supplies were purchased from Pet Smart!
