Kindergarteners are, for the most part, self-centered when they enter school. They are mainly only concerned with how the world affects them. This lack of understanding of how they affect the world around them often causes conflict and strife in the classroom. Helping my students see themselves as part of a community is a vital part of my role as their teacher. Having a class pet provides a way for my Kindergarteners to see directly how their behaviors and actions affect others. Whether emptying a food bowl or filling a water bottle, they begin to learn to care for the needs of another living creature. Soon they learn that when they treat the pet tenderly and with kindness it begins to trust them. My students need a cage for our class pet that has easy access for them to learn the responsibility of feeding and nurturing a living creature. Helping to take care of a pet gives students a sensitivity and awareness of others. This strengthens my students' social skills which, in turn, gives them the potential to be better citizens in the classroom.
