Pet Study

 Last week, the Oak class began a unit of study about pets.  One of the children's favorite activities is to pretend they are kitties during outside and free play time.  Following their interest, we created a vet clinic in dramatic play.  The children were very excited by the vet clinic and so we decided to focus on pets in a variety of way throughout the next few weeks.

The children completed the chart to answer if they have a pet.

The children drew their pet.
