MANGO AND JELLY!!

Mango and Jelly are a special part of our classroom family. We have talked a lot throughout the year about being kind, gentle and respectful to our sweet animals.

Since I have returned from maternity leave, the students have a renewed excitement about the piggies, and have been observing them, drawing them, drawing FOR them, writing letters to them and reading about guinea pigs. This has also led to interest in talking about other animals. This is some of our conversations about two of our favorite animals. J
