Who would have thought that my new pet in the classroom, Squirtle the Turtle, would go into hibernation....
Why? Well it is cold in my classroom! Our county decided to regulate our temperatures in the classroom at a cooler temperature. They turn the heat off on the weekends, too! My students are always chilly and I guess it was too cold for Squirtle.
Some observations we have made....he doesn't completely sleep. He does move around a tiny bit, but not much. He likes to stay in the water more often now.
More updates will follow...
What an interesting thing for your students to see first hand!!

That is so cool. Our classrooms go down to 60 overnight and it takes all day to finally heat up with the old single pane windows. My critters are home for the winter because of that.
