Class Pet - Wilbert

Wilbert is a Greek Tortoise

There are so many advantages to having a classroom pet. Here are a few!

-teaches responsibility

-encourages nurturing behavior

-companionship

-builds self-esteem

-fosters new ways of learning

When it is your child's turn to have the job of our classroom pet monitor, they are more than welcome to bring in leafy greens (kale, romane lettuce, etc), dandelions, strawberries and carrots for Wilbert. On Fridays they will also have the opportunity to give Wilbert a bath!
