Students Homework
A reminder to students, you need to come up with a conclusion and 3 other observations from today’s experiment.
If you were absent today, you will need to see me for a make-up assignment because you missed the in-class experiment.
News About a New Addition to Our Classroom
Families, after discussing it with some of the more persuasive students, and running it by Mr. Denison, we have decided that we will be getting a classroom pet.
The pet we decided on for the classroom is a Leopard Gecko to avoid any potential allergies with “furrier” animals.
We are fortunate enough to have had one student, Karim, donate his old 10 gallon tank to our cause! In order to properly care for our new pet, we will be looking for donations to apply toward the necessities for our gecko. These donations will be applied toward the purchase of the gecko, food, logs/shaded areas, and general maintenance tools for its home. Of course, I want to stress that these are donations and by no means required. A straight money donation would work best to avoid 15 pounds of crickets yet nowhere for the gecko to live, with money I could purchase what is needed as it becomes needed. Naturally, if you would rather donate a physical item that is fine also, please email me before hand so I can let you know if it is something we will need.
Lastly, if you are interested in learning anything more about a leopard gecko, here is a nice article filled with important information!

During long breaks, a student may need to take our gecko home for the vacation, but we can worry more about that when the time comes!
Thank you,
Mr. Bailey
