On Tuesday, September 11, our first special guest of the school year came to visit! Since our theme this week is "My Pets" the Nashville Humane Association came to visit.
The main topic of conversation that Ms. Celia and Ms. Stefanie talked to us about was what to do when an unfamiliar dog approaches you. They were told to stand like a tree. Here is a pic of them doing this:
Chester is walking on a leash with Ms. Stefanie for the kids to practice how to stand like a tree. They enjoyed this. But I think it also taught them an important lesson of how to protect themselves if a dog approaches them.
We played a game where we observed the differences and commonalities between humans and pets.
Several of us got to stand up and put the pictures on the venn diagram to show the similarities and differences.
Chester is a great dog. He is a boxer mix and was very friendly with all the children. We all got to pet him as well.
I feel the kids learned a lot and hopefully gained some lifelong knowledge on how to treat animals. I hope this will provide them a lifetime of animal safety and hopefully some animal lovers!
