Animals 2 by 2

I am sure your children have told you all about the creatures in our classroom!  We have started our 1st science kit, Animals 2 by 2.  Children will have the opportunity to compare and contrast and closely observe several different kinds of animals.  We will learn the parts of the animals' body, what each animal needs to survive, where the animal lives in the wild, and other characteristics of each animal.  At this moment we have goldfish, guppies, and water snails in our classroom.  Soon we will have red worms, earth worms, pill bugs, and sow bugs.  Today the boys and girls learned about the different parts of both a guppy and a goldfish.  We observed how they moved, ate and interacted with each other.  We also put a tunnel in their tank and watched as the fish swam through it.  The boys and girls are loving these classroom visitors!!
