This month our preschool class is learning about "People Around Us." This includes community helpers and other things around us as well; like pets. We have been talking about what pets we have and what our pets need to survive. To go along with this we scheduled a trip to PetCo in Harrisonburg to learn about different kinds of animals and their needs. We know that all pets need food, water, love, and a place to live . We saw some Guinea pigs that reminded of us of John Willy and Freddy McGee from one of our current favorite books.
We got to hold and pet a very rambunctious ferret!
We also saw a gecko (he was not selling insurance) and learned why his tail is different from the rest of his body--He can make it fall off if he gets threatened!
Ms. Sandra even showed us her favorite bird, Jewels. She is beautiful, but did not want to stand still to get her picture taken! Ms. Sandra says she likes to give kisses!
After our trip to PetCo, we went to McDonald's for lunch. We had hoped to play on the play structure, but the rain had other plans for us, so we ate our lunches and then headed back to school.
Many thanks to Ms. Terri and Mr. Ben for coming along with us. We had a great time!
