Why Pets Rock! Our Pet Essays and Why We Think They are So Great!

Who are your favorite pets? We wrote about ours this a few weeks ago and I'thousand just now posting them!  Surprisingly, most of the kids don't accept dogs or cats. Only some do. Some accept a virtual zoo at their house!

Pet Activities and Stories

So nosotros drew pictures of those pets, after going through the writing process (sloppy copy, edit, final copy etc.) I found some fun math and langage arts activities Here at Pet Calendar week.

Nosotros read the Reading Streets story Tara and Tiree Fearless Friends . It's a story virtually rescue dogs. A fun rescue animal give-and-take search tin can be instituteHere. We learned a lot almost how rescue animals help shut ins, and handicapped people office better in their homes.
Tara and Tyree is a cute story in our Reading Streets Literature Book. It was the springboard for writing most our pets.

Did you know there are not only service dogs but now service monkeys?

We started by reading a few Weekly Readers on Dogs. And I had a lot of beautiful Dog read alouds we did throughout the week. We talked nearly how we have to learn to be responsible if we get a pet. A fun activity to teach being responsible for pets is chosen the "EGG PET" PROJECT. It looked like fun to try but nosotros ran out of time. Check it out HERE at TPT Class With an Alligator. (2nd grade)

Persuasive Essays on Why Our Pets are the Best!

Some cute stationery to write most our favorite pets I establish on Snippets By Sara's blog. The paper is actually cute. We had the aforementioned idea as her and wrote a PERSUASIVE ESSAY on Why our pet is the best. I used the 4 blocks method for brainstorming 4 reasons why our pet (real or imagined) is the best of all!
