This week we will continue exploring and inquiring about Pet Animals. This week we will focus on how we can take care of our
pets and how to keep our pets and us safe. We will be having a special speaker to come and help us to understand the things
that we have to do to take care of our pets and to keep us safe as well. We will be doing lots of role playing and craft making.
