Help enhance our science center in our classroom by providing hermit crabs and a hermit crab habitat. Science is key to learning in a Pre-K classroom. With live animals in the science center, children will be given multiple opportunities for exploration, asking questions, making predictions, observations and socialization with their peers. Students will learn all about how hermit crabs live, how they make their homes, what hermit crabs eat and how to care for a living thing responsibly and independently. Students will also have the option of taking the hermit crabs home to care for them over the weekend, and take on a responsibility.
