Poppins Book Nook: Pets

November 26, 2013 Ticia 2 Comments

I have to admit I was really looking forward to this theme, I had great plans for reading several books, and then having the kids put together what you have to do to take care of a pet.
And then these last two months hit.  I mean seriously it’s been horrid.  Last month I dropped out, and if I’d been honest with my time constraints for this month I would have as well, so instead.  I’m gonna tell you our general plan, so you can have fun doing it yourself.

 

taking care of pets

First we’re gonna read How to Raise a Dinosaur, a super cute book that wonders what if you could pick up a dinosaur from a pet store.  What would you have to do.

Then we’re going to talk about how a dinosaur is similar to having Mac, our dog.  I found this super duper old post from when we were getting Mac, and all the steps we took to get ready for having a dog (a great read if you’re thinking about getting a pet).

And then I was considerably amused to read their thoughts from when we first got a dog.

Finally, we’re going to write a short informational paper on how to care for a dog.
Simple, straight forward, and a writing assignment I’m sure they’ll enjoy.

I’m joining with several other great bloggers to share our takes on a different theme each month, check out how the other bloggers approached this theme and then create your own version:

    Good luck getting yourself dug out of the mountain of different obligations. Hopefully it will get better once the wedding is over! I am still working on convincing my husband to get a cat. I really want one!

    I hope December is a better month for you!

    I would love to have a pet, but Mike is allergic to the universe. Lily’s preschool has bunnies, at least!
