Finally! The shrimp are here in my habitat! I originally had 9 shrimp bucks. {Each one allowing me to have access to 1 shrimp! What was also really cool was that we got an extra 5 shrimp bonuses! That gave me 14 shrimp! So the way this was done was that the teachers started calling us up in the order they saw the vases [our container for the shrimp] on the table. Then they could count our shrimp bucks and add 5 to that. They started scooping up the shrimp from the tanks and to make it easier, they took out the rocks so that the shrimp wouldn't have a place to hide form the net. {I don't blame them, though} The next step was to then get rubber strips form a teacher that were really sticky once you take off the yellow covering. They drew lines on the yellow rubber so you could cut the strips the right size. You needed to cover the outside of your cover with the strips twice so we needed to cut out two of the sticky strips. Once you were done withe that, you went straight outside to another teacher named Ms. On. {That is what we called her} She helped us pull the strip to outline the cover and then we did the rest ourselves. We put the cover on lightly so the shrimp could have air but we were going to drill a hole later. We just didn't do that because the teachers were gong to do that. Now we are so close to being done I can practically smell the finished habitat!
