Squirrel Babies



 
On September 27th, two baby squirrels visited our class. They were found abandoned on a golf course. My daughter's friend adopted these tiny little furr balls. At the time their eyes were not opened yet.

 
Now here they are a week later, after being bottle fed puppy formula every four hours.
 




The baby squirrels are already avid climbers. They were able to climb up to the rim of this habitat and balance on the edge while scurrying along the circumference. They were so fast I could barely catch a clear shot of them.



They are cute, but I can't imagine trying to contain them, they are active little things. Before their visit today, we read the Big Book, Squirrels All Year Long and a book called, The Squirrel. We wrote squirrel stories and made squirrels with fluffy tails. We even learned a song called, "Little Acorn."
