We invited our first guest speaker, Uncle Ivan and Elmo to school to kick start our SSDB project – ‘Fur friends leave prints on our heart’. Children were all so excited to see Elmo in class and they had lots of questions for Uncle Ivan!
Uncle Ivan and Teacher Sandra introduced Elmo’s daily routines, meal preparation, shower routine and some important grooming habits that were good to keep when taking care of a dog. They also shared how to observe some behaviors of a dog as pets rely very much on us humans as they could not speak if they weren’t feeling well.
After much understanding and getting their questions answered, children shared some things that they learnt from Uncle Ivan regarding pet’s responsibilities. Before the session ended, children get to touch Elmo before saying their goodbyes!
