We got our fish and guppies this week for our science study of living things. Mr. Mike from Premier Pets came to talk to the children about caring for the fish. He also told them about an opportunity for kids to "work" at the store for a couple hours each month as soon as they're 8. As you can imagine - they were all very excited about this! He said it's about a year long waiting list!
Today we changed the water and learned s lot about their habits, how to feed them, etc.
While moving the fish from one tank to the other, one of the fish played dead. So, we named him scaredy squirrel after one of our favorite book characters who does the same thing. The others we decided to name Flash and Flippy.
