My Project

I am requesting a variety of books about pets and veterinarians as well as stuffed animals to pretend play with. This is the first time I am going to be teaching about pets and my students are in need of books and toys! We are going to use the stuffed animals to pretend play with as well. We can pretend that they are our pets and also that they go to the veterinarian. My students will get to care for the animals and pretend to bathe them, feed them, and walk them too!
