Snail surprise in our fish tank….
On Friday afternoon, after the children had gone for the day, I was cleaning our classroom fish tank and I saw something EXTRAORDINARY. (That was a bonus word wall word this week…)
Our tank contains our class pets, two African clawed frogs and and two golden mystery snails. Well, as you can see from the photo, one of the snails laid eggs! (Actually there are two clutches, the other one is on the back wall of the tank.) This is a wonderful coincidence because the class is now studying animal life cycles. In my 14 years of teaching this has only happened once before, so this learning opportunity is very special. Let’s see what happens…
