Learning About Opossums

While cleaning out and getting rid of all our old magazines, the boys and I came across an interesting article about Opossums and we decide to read it together. These animals are much more interesting than I realized. (Please note that this article has some parts that I skipped or rephrased when reading it out loud.)

So anyway, here's what they said they learned...

• Opossums have pouches


• the babies climb up the mom's fur into the pouch


• Opossums waddle when they walk


• Opossums have little "thumbs"


• they are immune to the venom of rattlesnakes

So that was our science class for the day!
