Welcome to The Snapper Report! This week’s report is brought to you by Abby Jensen.
Snapper’s weigh in for 4/25/2023 was 285.1 grams. Over the past week, Snapper has grown 18.7 grams.
Snappers’ tank is well kept, but she is almost too big for it. She gets cared for every day by Mrs. Gonsoir. The students love her and see her every day. Snapper enjoys her daily meals of Repto sticks. She doesn’t really like her ham anymore. She likes to be very active and with her growing size, she is almost ready for the wild.
Snapper’s species is a snapping turtle. Turtles don’t have ears, but they have thin flaps of skin covering internal ear bones, which receive vibrations and low-frequency sounds.
Our Chemistry class is learning about states of matter this week.

Welcome to The Snapper Report! This week’s report is brought to you by Elizabeth Fliehs.
Snapper’s weigh in for March 2, 2023 was 179.00 grams. For the past week Snapper has lost 0.3 grams due to the loss of not having a heat lamp for a few days!
Snapper lives in a small aquarium tank, filled with rocks for him to climb on and little pebbles for him to play with.
Did you know that a snapping turtle’s favorite foods are live insects and worms? Most snapping turtles are most afraid of humans on land and only snap in defense when they feel threatened!
In our Chemistry class this week we have been learning on how to balance and name chemical reactions, and how to classify different types of reactions.
