Class Animals

Update 5/13/2020

I just got this picture of the Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches from their foster mom! They are doing great! They had more babies and they have been growing quickly. The ones that are a lighter color recently molted (shed) their exoskeleton. There is also a picture of a hisser that just molted!

Update 5/12/2020

Mrs. Miear, one of our fantastic librarians, and her family have been fostering our toad, gecko, and Spike. Spike looks like he has been doing well!

Update 4/20/2020

The animals are thriving in their foster homes. Below is a picture of the betta fish that was on my desk. She (and the snail and shrimp) are doing great! You will also see a picture of our hissing cockroaches. They are growing quickly, so I sent their foster mom a new, bigger tank. They have been eating a lot and are really active at night.

Update 3/24/2020

I have found foster homes for all of the animals in our classroom until the 2020-2021 school year! I will post picture updates if I receive them from the animals' foster parents.

Update 3/20/2020

Everyone is doing well today! I hope you are all staying well, too!

Update 3/17/2020

The room 267 classroom animals are all alive and well! I have been able to come in and feed them and clean their tanks, as usual. I'm sure they miss seeing you every day! Spike says, "Hi! I am looking for all of my favorite students, but they are not in their desks...I hope they are taking care of themselves at home and I can't wait to see them again when they can come back to school!"
