Hello! My name is Alex. I use my pincers to grab my food. I am about 14 centimeters. I use my claws to lift myself up and to scare my predators. I also have bristles that are like little hairs.

Hello! My name is Mr. Pinchers, and I'm filling in for Alex today because poor Alex died. I'm just going to tell you that I didn't kill him. Do you what I was asked to tell you today? Well I do...it's about our new green homes. They all have black shapes on the top. I personally like the black square and the black rectangle homes. I just got some new crayfish put with me, but I don't want to really be their friends because they are kind of mean and pinch people a lot.

Well, we lost another crayfish over the weekend. Unfortunately it was Mr. Pinchers. Mr. Pinchers was a special crayfish. He really bonded with Alyse, as she would hold him in her hand, as if he was a hamster. Mrs. Bond said she never saw a student and a crayfish act that way before. Alyse was upset, and she was able to bury him out on the playground. Mrs. Bond showed the class the many different kinds of crayfish species that exist in the world. Do you know there is a blue crayfish that is really blue? They were super cool to see in photos! I am more on the grayish tan side. I am different than the others. I think the others are Rusty Crayfish. The Rusty Crayfish are invasive to Michigan waterways. They are trying to control them...and I have an inkling that they may be using the school crayfish program as part of their strategy!
The kids have their BA on Thursday. Today they were talking about life cycles, inherited traits, and camouflage. It was neat to see the photos Mrs. Bond put on Edmodo!
Sincerely,
Mermaid
