As we prepare for our trip to the zoo, students in kindergarten are learning all about animals, including household pets. Today, Christine and her dog Maggie from Animal Care visited our school and taught us all about caring for a pet.

We learned that pets need food, clean water, exercise, toys and love. We also learned that people should never pet a dog or cat without asking its owner first. Students were told that they should tell an adult if they see an animal without a collar.

Here we are with Maggie!
