Mrs. Chloe, Mr. Odom, Mrs. Drinnon, and Mrs. Needham from first grade at JRP have been learning about Cats and Dogs. Each student was given the opportunity to pick their animal to study. Then, they watched a fact video and read a book about Cats and Dogs. Each student then filled out a TIDE organizer with their facts about their animal. They wrote a paragraph using the information from their TIDE organizer. Because of their hard work learning about their animal, we had a pet adoption day. Each student was able to “adopt” a cat or dog and received a certificate of adoption signed by Ms. Seals or Mr. Horton.
