CLASS PET'S
    

In H102, Mrs. Matsuura’s 6th grade class, we have learned a lot about pets and how to take care of them.

By having class pets, we learn about how they live and about their personality. My class learned a lot from all of our pets. First there is Rocky the turtle. Mrs. Matsuura got him when he was the size of a quarter. We learned about their life cycle and habits.

Then there’s Krilly and Bluey. Krilly is our last krill we have. In Hawaiian, they are called O’Pae. We used to have more krills but Mrs. Matsuura’s husband bought this special brackish water and added it to her small krill bottle and then they all started dying. Mrs. Matsuura told us to blame him because they were doing fine before that. It’s an interesting animal because they can live in their own ecosystems. We don’t need to feed it or anything!

Bluey is our huge blue lobster looking cray fish. He is really the color BLUE! He is special because he can live in both fresh and brackish water. He has big claws but is very gentle. We saw him take off his shell so we learned about that from Mrs. Matsuura.

Last are Mrs. Matsuura’s four cute BUNNIES! Thumper, who is her favorite, is a super chubby and grayish white rabbit. He is the friendliest bunny who loves one of the students in class—Keoki! Then there is mysterious Bandit who looks like she’s wearing a mask ready to steal something like a real bandit. Then there are Thumper and Bandits sons, Momo and Appa. Momo is super cute and is super overweight; while Appa is more like Bandit. Both have dark soft fur. I thought that was a bit strange because both Thumper and bandit are white. Mrs. Matsuura said that she was going to teach us about genetics and use the bunnies as examples.

This first quarter my class learned all about Mrs. Matsuura’s pets. She helps us learn how to take care of them. Now my whole class are bunny experts because we love to learn about them so much!!!
