IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Miss Boyle this weekend created this tunnel for the children to go through to help them see what it is like to be a gecko.  She made knee pads and gloves that had velcro on them so when they crawled through it added some difficulty!  I cannot tell you how fun it was for the children to do this!  They had a blast and they had a hard time going through it.  We will continue to have it out so that we can see what it is like to be a gecko!

At the end of the day we began a web of things we know about habitats, and the children did such a nice job of coming up with some ideas of what habitats were.  Then, we at the same time were making a list of questions we had about geckos, and these questions provoked some good debates between the children.  One of those questions was “do all geckos have webbed feet?”  Another question was “Do geckos sleep?”  These questions along with the other 9 questions that were brought up really sparked some great discussion.  We hope to find these answers this week when we go to the exhibit!
