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

A huge #Orange shout-out to our Infant Toddler Specialists, Beth Eschenburg and Shannon Thompson, who lead this activity. A conference of this size must also pull in our entire Eastern RC team. Thank you ALL!
