In Room 15 we have lots of creatures. Jellybean, the pirate mouse and 3 fat goldfish live here all the time, the rest of the creatures are just visiting.  We have had tadpoles, crickets, cicadas , stick insects, praying mantis, aphids, monarch caterpillars, woolly bear and gum emperor caterpillars, lizards and spiders.
We usually look at them through the dinoscope and then let them go.






Jellybean is our class mouse. She is very sweet and tame. She lost one of her eyes when a cat pounced on her.
