LEARN: 🦎 Exciting News from Mrs. Calabrese’s Science Class! 🦎

Our science classroom is getting a new addition! On Tuesday, we will be welcoming a leopard gecko as our new classroom pet! 💚

Our new little friend will provide students with opportunities to connect what we learn in science to the real world. Throughout the year, students will learn about food chains, the needs of healthy organisms, and habits.

We are so excited for students to have the opportunity to observe, learn from, and help care for our new classroom pet! We think this will be a fun and meaningful addition to our science classroom. 🦎🔬
