Educational value to having classroom pets: Pets bring so many new ways
to learn in the classroom. Teachers can use these lessons for so many
things and subject matters, the list is never-ending. You can use having
the animals to enhance so many areas of education. I have a few ideas
and would love for you to post your ideas. Have you done this in your
classroom? Share your experience.
Make a care plan with your students.
Who
is going to care for the animal? What a great way to teach them to take
turns? Each child will have a chance to be responsible for feeding and
caring for the animal even cleaning the pets "home" should be a shared
responsibility. Make a poster or bulletin board to be fair in giving
each student a turn with the pet.
Who is going to name the pet? What a great way to teach them how to vote and that their vote actually makes a difference.
Ideas to use in the classroom:
Math-how
much does the animal weigh, how long is the animal, how much is it
going to cost to feed the animal, use a measuring cup for the food and
water. The possibilities are endless.
Science-learning how to
take care of the pet, what kind of habitat the pet needs, what types of
food is best, what part of the world did this animal originate from?
Allow your students to help by bringing in things for the habitat. Let
each student pick something they would like to contribute to the pet and
that will help them understand what all it takes to take care of an
animal.
English/Language Arts-What words would the children use
to describe the classroom pet? They can do journal entries daily to use
their spelling and grammar skills. Each day pick another subject about
the animal they can write about. Use some of the words for spelling test
or vocabulary. I'm sure you have tons more ideas. Please share them in
the comments section.
Children can learn social skills by taking
turns caring for the animal. They learn compassion and empathy. Animals
in the classroom also have a calming effect to classroom behavior. They
reduce aggression and encourage spontaneous communication between
students and teachers. Even the verbal communication with the animal is
great, It's been documented that even children with special needs do
much better with pets, what better way to help a child who is frustrated
to hold a fuzzy animal? Not that you looking to add a trained "special
needs dog" to your classroom or anything but snuggling with a hamster
can still have the same kind of calming effect on the child.
