This year we celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday with a school-wide "What Pet Should I Get?" activity! All of the students enjoyed listening to the story read aloud in their classrooms, and then each student created their own pet poster. I really loved their artwork and writing. Here is just a small sample!
 | |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a lizard. I would choose a lizard because it changes color. Also it can blend in with different objects. A lizard is the best bet yet! -Brady, Grade 1 |
 |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a puppy. One reason is they are so cute. Another reason is it could be fun because they like to play. Puppies are the best pets ever! -Kapri, Grade 1 |
 |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a cardinal with nice red feathers that can fly so high they can touch the sky. The cardinal's name should be Rodney. Rodney should land on my finger and not my thumb or shoulder. That's why I want a cardinal for a pet. -Everett, Grade 3 |
 |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a hydra baby because it has four heads and that means four times the fun! It has four snake heads. I'd love that. -Gabe, Grade 3 |
 |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a taco cat! I would get this because it will produce a taco whenever I wanted one. -Landon, Grade 3 |
 |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a turtle. I would get a turtle because they are slow, easy to feed, and very cute. -Maddy B., Grade 4 |
 |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a lemur. I would get this because I love fuzzy things and small things. -Riley, Grade 4 |
 |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a giraffe because he will trim the tree. -Lily, Grade K |
 |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a fish, a cat, and a dog because I love pets! -Weston, Grade K |
 |
| If I could get a pet, I would get a macaw. I would get this pet because you can teach it to talk. -Emma I., Grade 4 |
