My big item from Donors Choose came today. Newts! I ordered two newts and an aquarium as a starter kit (among other things) to supplement our study of vertebrates. I have two slight problems: 1) it came with no food. Hopefully they will live until tomorrow and I will magically find a pet store with newt food tonight, 2) I didn't realize this came with newtS, as in plural. Meaning, one could be male and the other female... I just won't think about that for now. Shoot, maybe that's why they call it a "starter kit"- it's a start for a newt kingdom.
Well, if that's the case, we'll see something really amazing and everyone gets a present!
Isn't he (or she) cute? We're thinking about naming them Fig and Newton. Get it? Of course, I thought of that cheesiness. If you have any other ideas, let me know! The official class vote takes place tomorrow.

Cool addition to the classroom.
YAY for you! Love Donors Choose. It's great to hear about real recipient. Enjoy your newts. My son's Primary classroom had a newt and they loved it. They only eat 3-4 times a week. They like grasshoppers and mealworms.
