Clara got to bring the class pet, Pup, home with her a couple of weekends ago.  Pup teaches the children about friendship and sharing.  Each child gets to bring him home, play with him and write in his journal.  Then all of the children read the journal at circle time.  Here they are having a good time:

Climbing into the big chair!

Eating breakfast together!

Picking flowers (Clara's favorite activity).

Riding on her favorite riding toy (that I trash picked from a neighbor in my parent's neighborhood).

Playing on the deck!

Playing in the monkey grass.

Thanks for coming, Pup!  I hope you had as good of a time as we did!
