...visited our classroom for this unit. First was Dr. Natalie Carpenter from Middletown Animal Clinic in Fairmont, who graciously gave her time to talk to the girls about how she became a small animal veterinarian, where she attended school, her favorite animals to treat (puppies and kittens!), and what some of her most interesting cases have been. Also attending this day was Mr. McIntyre's own puppy, Mia May. Mia was very excited about her first day of school did paw-sitively well as she visited with several students and teachers.
