My Project

Our Pet Study is catered to expose our young scholars, ages four and five, to different animals and the responsibility of having a pet. This project will help my scholars build their class library with nonfiction books, and add science-based materials to their learning centers. Each student will be filled with curiosity.

Imagine the encouraged wonder of our young minds as they read, explore and observe nature's gifts to us (pets).

We will be able to have repeated read-alouds about the characteristics of animals and become scientists as we investigate our study!
