Pets Week

This week in Pre-K we will be learning about pets.  We will talk about which animals make

good pets and which animals would make bad pets and why.  We will also learn how to care for pets by giving them food, water, a place to live and love.  Our letter this week is "Pp."  We will be focusing on words that start with "Pp" and will talk about how we can make the /p/ sound by making our lips pop.  Please continue to practice at home.  :)

On Wednesday and Thursday we will be going on our second field trip of the year to the Medford Veterinary Clinic.  Our class will be there from 9:45-10:15.  There, we will learn about how the vet staff takes care of our pets and other animals, as well as see the surgery room and some x-rays taken of animals when they were either hurt or pregnant.  

We will share many fun and exciting stories about our pets at home throughout the week!
