Meet Our Crayfish....Day 2 in Team Bond

Here are some entries from our first day observing the crayfish.  Each child was able to create a name for his/her crayfish, using alliteration (something we just emphasized during our poetry unit.)

      Hi!  I'm Caroline the Crayfish.  I came here yesterday.  I arrived at Team Bond at about 2:50 PM.  It was almost the end of the day, and the whole class crowded me and my friends. We were split up into bins becuase there were bigger spaces to swim, as we were all together in a small container when we were shipped to Glengary Elementary.  I eat dry cat food that sinks to the bottom of the bin.  We have a hard shell and our color is brown. How do you know who the female crayfish are?  The female is small and the males are big. We have pincers to protect ourselves.  Males have big pincers. The femals have brown pincers.  We have 8 legs adn 2 antenae. We are ver cool water animals. We like dark places.  That's why you don't see us that much in the day.  Well...that's all everyone!  Bye! (CR)

    Hi!  I'm Crayfee the Crayfish.  I got here yesterday.  I was wanting to get to the school all day yesterday.  My habitat is really nice and comfortable.  Lots of kids pick me up.  I know some of their names already.  I eat cat food. I eat really fast.  I love the food they give me....yummy! One of my friends as lost a pincer.  I used to live in a river but not anymore.  Someone got me and put me in this habitat.  I like this habitat more...it's way more safer thaqn being out there in the wild!  (TG)

    Hi! I'm Crabby the Crayfish.  I arrived in Team Bond a day ago.  The kids crowded around me adn my friends.  We were very, VERY scared to be in this new classroom.  We got transferred into our basins by a couple of kids.  When we got fed the next day, me and my friends were separated into different basins,  so Team Bond science groups could observe us.  They kept on picking me up.  Luckily I was with one of my friends. She kept on wiggling and squirming so she could get put down.  Me and my friend were not very hungry so we didn't eat.  Hopefully all my other friends did fine too!  (JAM)

    Hi1  I'm Krista the Crayfish.  I am eating my breakfast right now...so put me down!  Just kidding.  It does not hurt me when I get picked up because I have a hard shell.  I am in a separate basin to eat my breakfast. I am having so much fun with my friends here in room 10 with Team Bond!  (TW)

     Hi! I'm Cassidy the Crayfish.  I arrived at Team Bond yesterday.  It's a joy here!  I like the part when they fed me cat food. The kids stared at my brown pincers, and then they picked me up and looked around me. It was a bit scary.  Then I rested a little bit.  Then I decided to climb around and took a break. I got a little thirsty so I drank some.  When the kids were studying me I bent my tail and kept it tucked under. Bye now!  (CJ)

      Hi!  I'm Crabby the Crayfish. I arrived in a classroom at the end of the day yesterday.  We crayfish eat dry cat food.  I can walk backwards.  We have 8 legs and 2 pincers.  In the morning we hide and at night we are active. I forgot to mention, my friend, Chris, lost a pincer.  We got moved into a basin...that is our habitat.  (KB)
