Puppy Love-A Visit from the SPCA
Each month beginning in October, my class has been lucky enough to have volunteers from the SPCA come and visit/teach my class.
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.

We had a blast meeting Ben. He is a trained dog who goes in to nursing homes, too. Amazing day!
That sounds like so much fun for the kids!Adventures of a Third Grade Teacher
Thanks for the comment like always!! :)I 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….
