Cadance, Jackson, Devon, and Teague were exploring the snails today during Projects time. They decided that the two largest snails are the grandparents, the smaller one is the mother and the three small ones are the babies.
Today we also made snails with pipecleaners and with modelling clay. Then we examined a paper that had a drawing of the parts of the snail.
Check back tomorrow for more snail adventures.
