Pets

This week our theme was "Pets" and we learned about the many different kids of pets people can have. We talked about how to take care of them and how they depend on us to keep them safe. Our week ended with a field trip to the Medford Veterinarian Clinic where we saw the exam room, X-rays, the lab, surgery room, teeth cleaning station, and some specimens in jars.  

We also focused on the letter Xx and found that not many words start with Xx but some do end with it. We have been collecting coins to add to our Pennies for Pets fundraiser. The Pre-K students were able to raise $265.28! This money will be donated to the Taylor County Humane Society. 

Next week our theme will be "Seeds and Flowers". The school is having the 3rd annual plastic bag challenge-sponsored by County Market. We will take any clean plastic bags that you would like to recycle. The class who has the most wins a prize.
