Today we have two very special guests come and teach us about nocturnal animals. Mr. and Mrs. Micic brought in Daisy and Minnie, their families sugar gliders. Here are a few of the facts the kids learned about these marsupials:
They sleep during the day and are awake at night.
Sugar gliders don't fly, they are good jumpers and glide from one place to another.
Two weeks after conception the baby moves from inside the mom to the pouch.
They are about the size of a thumb when they come out of the mother's pouch.
Their favorite treats are dried fruit, vegetables, and yogurt chips.
As domestic pets they live in cages. In the wild they live inside trees.
Mr. and Mrs. Micic complemented the kids on staying calm and helping Minnie and Daisy feel comfortable in our class. Thank you again for bringing in and teaching us all about these fun nocturnal pets!
Was your child excited to tell you about the visitors? Did they share any other interesting facts?
