We lost our last two shrimp today. One of my students was backing up and knocked the entire ecosphere on the floor, shattering the glass and sending the shrimp flying. They flopped around for a few minutes while we scrambled to fill a bucket with water. They survived for another 40 minutes or so in the bucket before finally sinking to the bottom. We said a few words to honor them, then flushed them down the toilet.
The kindergarteners just got a bird as a class pet. I think we'll hold off a little longer before we try something new.
