Class Pet

The second graders are reading a story titled "Ann's First Day". In the story Ann has just moved to a new town and a new school. Ann is comforted during the change by the fact that her old class voted that she could take the class pet with her when she moved. The student's were asked "Should a classroom have a class pet? why or why not" and "What would be the coolest class pet to have?"

Elizabeth said "The class should not have a class pet. Because it will distract the class."

Chelsey wrote "I know that you can't have a pet at school. It will run off and it will get lost. If the principal sees it you will be in detention and be in big trouble. I love pets but you can't have them at school."

Quincy wrote 'The class pet may get out of the cage when you are feeding him.. The class pet should be a dog because they are fun to play with."

Reagan wrote "We should have a class pet so we could teach him tricks. If I could chose the class pet it would be a black lab like my dog at home. It would he a boy dog."
