I am using Hermit Crabs as an instructional tool the first three to five days of school! I have designed science labs to use with LIVE HERMIT CRABS as well as a really fun packet to use with GROWING HERMIT CRABS. These are NOVELTY TOYS I found on Ebay. I also created some creative writing projects as well as an informational report format. The students will also read several classic books about hermit crabs, including A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle, Hermit Crab’s Home: Safe in a Shell by the Smithsonian, and What Lives in a Shell?. The students should LOVE starting with such an unusual topic! I also have a FREEBIE Reading Comprehension Packet on Hermit Crabs to get you started! I will be sure to take pics and share soon (school starts Aug. 24)! CLICK ON THE LINKS TO FIND THESE ITEMS!
