For second-grade students at Howell Road School their classroom lessons based on the Common Core Learning Standards modules on insects, plants and animal science came to life when Erik’s Reptile Edventures visited their school.
Erik introduced the students to many of his animals including Dozer the Tortoise, Biawak the Water Monitor Lizard, Wally the American Alligator and Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, which Erik likes to keep under his hat. The students expanded their knowledge about the differences between reptiles, amphibians and insects and learned how to be responsible pet owners. Some of the highlights of the program included seeing Mrs. Oquendo wear Twinkie, an Albino Burmese Python, around her neck and seeing Mrs. Faccio kiss a frog.
