For the last couple weeks, students in Mrs. Rachael Shadiow's 3rd grade class at BIS partnered with students in Mrs. Katie Barnes' 4th grade class to complete a research project on endangered or extinct animals. Today, the groups presented to other 3rd grade classrooms and the students were able to vote on the animal they wanted to win.
For those wondering, Mrs. Barnes said the Axolotl (photo 1) was the winner. For those wondering what an axolotl is: Axolotls are salamanders that remain in their larval stage throughout their lives. They are critically endangered and native to a small area of Mexico. Axolotls are known for their ability to regenerate lost body parts, and they are also popular pets due to their unique appearance and relatively easy care. (The more you know!)

With the help of Kyli Penrod from the Blackford 4H/Purdue Extension office, we candled our eggs for the first time today. Ten are developing in Mrs. Crouse's class, and Mrs. Reidy has 9 showing signs of development! We are expecting them to hatch around May 8th, and can't wait for the new arrivals at BIS!
