A Special New Friend

Look who just hopped into the classroom!


I am excited to announce a new addition to the classroom. We have a new baby rabbit named Walter! Walter and I are excited about his role as our classroom pet and mascot. I am excited to surprise the children on Monday. We will have an unveiling of Walter's cage and have carrots and apples for snack, because those are two of Walters favorite things. We will also read several non-fiction and fiction books about rabbits this week.

One of the reasons I decided to get a pet for our class was so the children could help take responsibility and learn to feed and give Walter water. The children will also be allowed to take Walter home for a weekend several times this year. If you cannot host Walter in your home, please contact me so I can make sure to give your child extra time with Walter during the week he or she would be taking walter home. 

Thank you for sharing the excitement with me. I have no doubt Walter will be a big hit with the class and will add a lot to the classroom.
