There comes a time in every man (or fish's) life when their life comes to an end. Unfortunately for Sapphire that time came all too soon...
Yep, our second Beta fish died, and yes that is also after the two miniature crabs. I swear we are feeding it the amount the container says, we keep them clean and happy, and they still die? If you are wondering we will not be getting another fish (or crab) so don't try running to Peta about me. I do feel bad though, and even worse when I have to tell the students, again, that our pet has died. However, I am also wondering what they may be doing to that fish when I am not looking. After one of these unfortunate events I usually wait about a day to see who notices that the fish is missing (don't worry I already flushed it), because I love seeing how observant they are. I will probably break the news to everyone tomorrow afternoon.
As for a new pet...
Well, we will not technically be getting a new pet this time, however, since it is Spring we will be having several creepy crawlers visit our class. Yesterday I ordered our caterpillars which we are going to feed and take care of until they make their cocoons. Once they are in their cocoons we well place them in a butterfly habitat to live in for a couple days as butterflies before we set them free. This is one of my favorite things about Spring, and an awesome way to teach the students about life cycles. Also, the good news is we recently brought our class plant back to life, and with the beautiful weather we are beginning to grow many more.
I will update tomorrow on how the students took the news, and will also show pictures of some of our news planting projects.
