My Project

My students are curious, kind, and caring for each other and our new classroom pet! They love taking care of our blue lobster and are thrilled to see her thriving. We are truly enjoying her and her antics! She provides much needed stress relief and calmness to our classroom.

Having these supplies and food for our classroom pet is essential.

We have had numerous discussions about blue lobsters and have done quite a bit of investigating online about this interesting animal. We have worked on several investigative assignments and continue to dig deeper for more information. Students are excited and very engaged and yearn for more! They love their new pet and are so fascinated and filled with wonder.
