Lots of fun was had in our cooperative learning center this week! We had a box of vet gear- stethoscopes, bandages, cotton balls, thermometers, shots (medicine syringes), X-rays (dog and cat skeletons printed on transparencies) and, of course, lots of stuffed animals needing care and medical treatment. It was definitely the favorite center of the week, so we had it open every day. Tuesday, Dr. Mahany is coming to show us how the real veterinarians take care of our pets!

In other centers, we worked a bit in our practice workbooks on writing letters. We made a little book on pet safety, which we read as a class. This was a good chance to talk about some book characteristics such as covers, page numbers, and left to right directionality for reading/ page turning. Clothespins were clipped on cards and wheels for counting practice. We practiced writing numbers and our new letter Dd in corn meal trays. We also had fun stamping with pet stamps, and even painting with dog bones!
