ACE Center Vet Tech students prepared targeted lessons to educate elementary students about the basic pet care needs of reptiles and mammals. Vet Tech students designed learning activities and visited multiple elementary schools to present their lessons. They were able to reflect after each lesson to make improvements. Everyone had a blast learning about how to best take care of our reptile and mammal friends when we have them as pets.

What the teachers like about this experience:
I really enjoyed watching my students modify their approach as they taught the content to the younger kids; although they started out hesitant and unsure of themselves, with each lesson they became more confident and engaging with the 3rd graders more comfortably. It was great to see them move past their nervousness and readily share their knowledge, prompting the younger kids to reflect on the content and answering their questions with ease.

Dumbarton 3rd graders got to learn first hand how to take care of pet reptiles and mammals.
Elementary students loved hearing from Hermitage ACE students and had so many questions.
