Would you like to play with a fluffy and cute hamster every day? Or learn about an animal that you have right in front of you? Then get a class pet!
Students in grades 3-5 should get a class pet because it teaches responsibility to bring the pet home and take care of it. When students bring home an animal they have to prove they can take care of it by feeding it the right amount of food. Also, they need to be able to give the animal a safe and warm place so it’s comfortable.
Another reason students in grades 3-5 should get a class pet is because it encourages students to want to go to school so they can see it. When students are having a hard time waking up in the morning, they can think about seeing the pet at school and get excited to go see how it might have changed.
One more reason grades 3-5 should get a class pet is because it can help students learn about different kinds of animals. If students have a class pet they can observe it and learn about its life cycle and how it grows. By learning about what the right temperature is for the pet’s environment, how much to feed it, and how much activity and rest it needs will teach students how to take good care of it.
In conclusion, kids in grades 3-5 should get a class pet because it will teach responsibility, it will make students want to go to school more, and it will teach them about different kinds of animals.
