Hello again Second Graders,
We all sadly gave Abbey a good-bye
hug as we boxed her up to send to Roslindale, MA. We have had such great
week with her! She has been included in everything that we did.
Today Abbey even got to watch
a school Gym Show. She really seemed to enjoy watching the kids tumble
and do flips. We thought that she might even run out on the mats
and join them.
Today Abbey met two more pets
that live here at Orchard School. Taracula is a Rose Hair Tarantula.
In the picture, he is just heading into his favorite spot, a hollowed out
log. Our pet care tip for tarantulas is to feed them about a dozen
crickets a week
and make sure that they have
fresh water. The second pet that Abbey met today is an iridescent shark.
We call him Sharkie.
This fellow gets very nervous
if anyone taps on the glass of his aquarium, so we would advise people
to treat sharks gently. (Taracula also would rather that people not
tap
on the glass.)
We love our pets at Orchard School and we were so glad that Abbey could spend some time with us. Thank you, second graders in Hobart Indiana, for sharing your special friend with us.
Your new friends,
Eilish, Matt, Chelsea, Jonathan,
Alexandra, Brittany, Stephanie, Christian, Carter, Devon, Ty, Brittany,
Mrs. Poor and Mrs. Macdonald
