Students in Ms. LaToya's Valley Preschool classroom have been working hard on their study of pets! They have documented what pets they have as a class and even sent in pictures of their pets from home. Children explored what pets eat and where they live. Then, children created their own pet fish and named it so everyone could have their own pet. These young scientists are learning so much! #OurStory #SaginawISD





The best part about having storms last week is playing in enormous puddles! Murphy Farm Preschool students might have gotten a little wet even with their Oakies on. #SaginawISD
