My Project

We were gifted an amazing axolotl named Archie this year. He is an incredible addition to our classroom, but we need to switch out or add a few things for him to be more comfortable. My classroom is hotter, so we added a fan to chill his water, but now there is not a solid lid, and the filter is having trouble keeping up with the additional dust. The air pump is making a lot of noise and not putting out a lot of bubbles.

Books about caring for axolotls will help the students understand his needs.

They love to learn about him and do what they can to help take care of him. They love him and providing the students and Archie with stickers and new bubbles would make them all very happy.
