Today the Pitcher Plants had a special, super hero guest visit the classroom. Piggy , a 3-legged dog, was found by his owner Tod in the Dominican Republic. Piggy was discovered hungry, limping and hairless. He needed many hours of surgery and medicine, but then made a full recovery and moved to NYC with Tod. It is said that Piggy has the super power of finding and comforting those in need! The adventure's of the 3-legged super pup can be found in his comic book "A Piggy's Tale" written by his owner Tod. During the visit from the super-pup the Pitcher Plants learned the correct way to approach and pet a dog. Then each of them had a turn to politely ask Tod if they could pet his dog and where is the best place to pet him. The class loved petting Piggy and asking Tod questions about having a 3-legged dog.

On Thursday, the Pitcher Plants started "book buddies", an activity in which they are paired up with a younger student and spent time reading with them. The Pitcher Plants practiced their read aloud skills by reading with expression and making sure their audience was engaged in the story. The class learned that it was not always easy to keep their listener's attention, but they were very patient and respectful with the younger students! |
