For 2/28!

For next week, I want you to do something a little different!

Think about the livestock guardian animals that you have learned about so far.  I want you to pick one, or some, or all of them, and come up with Super Hero names!  (You can even think about other types of farm guardians!)  

 

We are going to do something fun in class with our ideas!

Things to do before 1/14!

Welcome back, class!


In the last class, we learned all about guardians of the farm.  We focused on guardian livestock dogs such as the great pyrenees.  Here are a few writing topics for your writing assignment.  Just choose one, do your best, and bring it in to share with your friends!


  • Write a story about the dog that visited our class, Pooh Bear!

  • Write a story about a guardian dog that protected a farm from danger.

  • Write about the difference between livestock guardian dogs, service dogs, and herding dogs, and pet dogs!

 

Here are a few great websites just in case you'd like to learn more!
