Far and Away

My kids are amazing @tyme We have a very eclectic bunch but together they work. They help each other, work together really well and often amaze me with their kindness and support of each other. I am very, very lucky.

@Zoe7 - Not many teachers can say what you've said about their class! They must be beautiful indeed! And also, if they weren't 'electric', they probably won't be kids!

I'm sure you have been key to making your class to beautiful. Well done!

They all have an animal that they love and pretend they are @tyme It is soooo cute. Apparently I am the zoo keeper LOL Two of them pretend they are Toby and Clover. The boy who pretends he is Toby even calls himself Toby ...and so do the other kids.

Welll... the kids are right in that sense! Most classrooms are zoos! @Zoe7 .

But I'm sure your animals are tame lol.

Are you allowed, or have you ever taken your pets to school to show the children?

I did take Toby with me on the night of our performance. He stayed in the car until it was over and then he met the kids. He was in his element - so many cuddles and pats. I have the most gorgeous photo of him and my classroom 'Toby' @tyme

Animals have such an amazing affect on children @Zoe7 . I know a school in my area that has a pet dog. The children read to the dog, look after it etc. So good for nervous students.

We had a dog come in at the school I was at before this one once a week. A select group of kids read to him - they were reluctant readers but loved reading to the dog @tyme

A therapy dog! @Zoe7 . I wish more schools had one.

Me too @tyme Toby would be no good - he wouldn't sit still long enough without me.

Lots of good stories @Zoe7
