Today some of my touch tank friends and I visited the excited students at the M. Gerald Teed Memorial School in Saint John. Throughout the day the Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students all had a chance to learn about and touch the animals that I had brought with me. The favourite animals of the day were the sea stars, the crabs and the sea cucumbers. But the animal that caused the most “ewwws” from the students was the slimy moon snail!
Thank you to all the students for being gentle with the animals. They are all safely back in the touch tank at the aquarium awaiting your next visit!
Enjoying the animals up close!
