This week, students were introduced to their new class pet turtles. The students named their pets and even came up with rules on how to care for them. The Bunnies class named their turtles Strawberry and Blueberry, while the Ninja Turtles named theirs Roya and Max. The students have started a new unit called, “Under the Sea”, in which they will be learning about sea creatures, what they need to survive, and how our actions affect them. The students will use the class pets to demonstrate these lines of inquiry and hopefully take actions that extend their knowledge and learning outside of the classroom to their greater environment.
