The students have become experts at handling the crayfish. Some of the students have even named the crayfish since they’ve been in our class for such a long time. Please ask you child what they’ve learned about the crayfish in science? Be sure your child goes deeper than, “Jaw feet.” That isn’t a full sentence and the students know lots about the crayfish. So that you don’t have to feel like your pulling teeth to get more information out of a reluctant learner, you can ask probing questions like:
- What is there habitat like?
- Why do they have jaw feet? What is the purpose?
- Tell me about the crayfish’s eyes.
- Do the crayfish have any patterns in their behavior?
