Before Spring Break we were lucky enough to have Mr. Jamie’s two chinchillas visit our classroom for the morning. The students loved petting them but even though they could have held them we didn’t have anyone who wanted to do that. Kaytlyn also brought some animals in for us to observe and hold. She brought in a hermit crab and small turtle. The children were more excited to hold the turtle than the chinchillas, who may have wanted to nibble on their fingers! We were able to compare and contrast the different animals by their size and texture.
