They started back in October teaching us pet safety. In November, we learned about caring for a pet.
In December we learned about dogs as service dogs and about other ways to care for a pet.
But this month...we were lucky enough to have a visit from one of the volunteer's pets. His name is Ben/Bennie/Gentle Ben {just like my dog}. He was beautiful/sweet/playful/obedient...I could go on forever.

That sounds like so much fun for the kids!

Thanks for the comment like always!! :)
ReplyDeleteI bought some adorable alien, pet and owl clipart from the Digital Bake Shop on etsy. Elisabeth told me about her. It's so cute and the woman who creates it is a stay at home mom. Her stuff is buy 2 get 2 free. So I got 4 things for $8. She doesn't have you buy a license or anything either. I also downloaded some free stuff on TpT by Graphics from the Pond. You can also use her stuff for things you sell! I decided that I much prefer buying from individual sellers than big companies. Its so much easier and I like supporting the smaller businesses.
Sorry for the rambling, apparently I need to go to sleep too!
Oh, and I saw that you are located in SC! You aren't far from me and Elisabeth!
It is wonderful to have a pet "visitor"! I know that Bide-A-Wee has a similar program where the dog reacts to students reading to him. Did you have to send a note to parents first mentioning the visit? Just curious about allergies, any students that are afraid of animals, etc....
