Slugs and Snails

Today the children found snails and slugs at school on the back field at Recess.  They wanted to collect and take care of them.  

We got lots (Thomas).  

They eat lettuce and carrots.  The slugs leave a straight trail of slime, and the snails leave a circly trail of slime.  And they like rain. (Syanne)

Snails are really cute, except for the tiny one is cuter than the rest. And the tiny one is really tiny.  It's so cute that when everybody sees it then they won't believe their eyes. (Danielle)

They have patterns on their shells.  They are slimy.  One time it climbed up to my elbow. (Cadance)

It was slimy.  Birds want to eat snails.  (Breanna)

There was a whole bunch.  (Julia)

The snail likes rain outside. (Teague)

The snails are sticky like slugs.  (Colby)





We have decided to try to create a snail terrarium.  We will keep you posted...
