Wow, it has been too long since my last post! Between moving apartments, planning a surprise wedding, setting up my new classroom and trying to squeeze some final moments of summer, I just haven't made the time to blog. Oh...AND we welcomed a new little guy into our home. Meet Purna!
Purna is a bernedoodle which is parts bernese mountain dog and poodle. It has been SO fun taking care of him, learning about him & LOVING him! I shared the news with my first graders about Purna and so many were just as excited to tell me all about their pets at home. Pets are a great way for young children to learn responsibility, care-taking and kindness. For kids who might not have the chance of growing up with an animal in their family, a classroom pet is always an option! Until then...(as I am pondering which class pet we might get) here are some of my favorite pet books!
