Borrow some pets..... one at a time.....from the students, other teachers/classrooms, your own friends or the pet store. Keep them for a day, a week, three weeks...keep each til your kids understand how to care for each| properly, and that having pets is a huge committment. Then give them back! You'll get lots of experience, there will be lots to write about, and you'll be able to choose better in the end. I just loved the time we borrowed another class' pet rabbit! He was hilarious and very friendly, but the kids realized quickly what an amount of caring went into keeping his cage clean, his teeth properly | |
cared for, getting the proper food, putting him to bed at night, and making sure he was safe in a classroom of shoelaces and electrical cords. We had lots of adventures, wrote lots of stories, read lots of books, and happily returned him to his classroom...who was missing him by this time.
