Unlike the usual visitors, these guests came complete with claws, antennae and scales. Did we mention they were red?<\/p>\n<p>We are referring, of course, to the crayfish that set up home this past week in room 61 at Rose Drive. However, as daunting as their initial appearance may seem, students remained unfazed, wasting no time becoming comfortable with picking them up and handling them \u2013 following strict instructions from their teachers, of course. The trick to avoid being &#8220;pinched&#8221; by a crayfish has to do with the manner in which you hold them, steering clear from their sharp pincer claws.<\/p>\n<p>Students were given several opportunities throughout the week to observe and make notes about the structure and behavior of crayfish, making this the perfect hands-on, interactive lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Like all good things, however, the crayfishes&#8217;\u00a0stay will come to end on Thursday, March 25, culminating with a drawing to determine homes for each of them. Several lucky students will go home that afternoon accompanied by their new crayfish pets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/rose-drive-crayfish-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3845\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3845\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/rose-drive-crayfish-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"rose-drive-crayfish-2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/rose-drive-crayfish-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/rose-drive-crayfish-2.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/rose-drive-crayfish-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3846\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3846\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/rose-drive-crayfish-3-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"rose-drive-crayfish-3\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/rose-drive-crayfish-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/rose-drive-crayfish-3.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March has been an exciting time for\u00a0third graders at Rose Drive Elementary School, as they\u00a0anticipated the arrival of some new guests.
