The Creepy Crawlies Have Arrived!











On Friday, Ms. P. from the Burlington School Dept. Science center arrived with various animals for us to explore and learn about.  Our new visitors are a cornsnake named Micahn, Hairy-ette the Rose-Hair tarantula and a group of Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches.  The boys and girls were very excited to see and touch the animals.  We discussed their size, nutritional needs, characteristics and natural habitats.  Be sure to ask your child which animals are cold-blooded, why farmers like cornsnakes, and how many body parts the spider has.
