Class Pets

Our class pets have arrived! After spending all of last week talking about the needs of animals, our class pets are finally here! Tater and Tot, the dwarf hamsters will not get any bigger. They sleep most of the day, because they are nocturnal, but they were up and all over the place Friday when they were introduced to the class.

Mrs. Barr is looking for someone that would like to take Tater and Tot home over the summer. I also need a spring break babysitter as well! Let me know if you are interested, or just want to know what kind of care they require.

Tater and Tot help our class understand the needs of animals. Animals need food, water, shelter, air and space to live. They have their food bowl, water bottle, house and glass tank. They also make great story topics during writing! There are several books in our room this week about hamster care.

Welcome Tater and Tot to first grade!
