Classroom pets: seasonal
visitors such as tadpoles, frogs, bird eggs Also familiar with: visiting kangaroo joeys, handreared possums Other animal projects: studying the native animals of Australia, "Stuffed Animal" exchange with a Canadian PenPal class (1999: a kangaroo for a wolf! 1998: a platypus for a beaver! 1997: an emu for a moose!) Animal info. wanted: caring for orphaned Australian animals Personal Comments (taken from the Guestbook): To introduce myself to others, I am a Year 3 teacher from "down under" who believes in children experiencing animals in the classroom to develop their full understandings of themselves and other living things and their place in the world. I have hatched eggs in the classroom, raised tadpoles to frogs and had a range of visiting wildlife, including handreared possums and kangaroo joeys as well as the usual dogs, cats and birds.My longterm goal is to have the opportunity to hand rear an orphaned Australian animal, with the help and enthusiasm of my partners, my classroom kids. I feel an experience such as this would bring children to a full, realistic understanding of our duty, as adults, and as human beings, to care for this world and its inhabitants- and that's not just looking after the people!!!Love to hear from anyone whose had any experiences in this line of "classroom caring."
