"Snacklaces"



TODAY'S ACTIVITY
For some time now, the class has been asking to make more "snacklaces" - a term we coined for necklaces made of Cheerios. It's quite practical, really. They get the same fine motor development as with beads combined with an emergency food supply if they get peckish on the playground. It's a win-win!

BONGO SHEDS AGAIN!
Bongo shed her skin again, but this time it remained largely intact, so the class could see virtually the entire shape. Corn snakes usually every 10 to 12 weeks. Her schedule on the shorter end of that range is largely attributed to our more frequent feedings with smaller mice. The students love to see and touch the skin and find the idea of shedding THEIR skin when they grow very funny.

The classic tale reversed, whereby the animal township conspires to trick a trickster into being honest.
