My Project

We recently had two axolotls move into our classroom. We need a few supplies to complete our axolotl habitat. Axolotls need a place to hide from bright lights to help them feel safe. We need some help getting a few axolotl hiding caves.

Axolotls are an endangered species of amphibian, and because their natural habitat is not able to sustain them, people need to step in and keep the species going.

In our Kindergarten, we study animals and their needs. We learn about how animals' needs must be taken care of by nature or by people.

Thank you for your assistance in caring for our axolotls!
