Geckos & A Toad Make Learning Fun For Pre-K Scholars
(CEDAR HILL, TEXAS) The Lake Ridge Elementary Pre-K Scholars in Jamie Crow’s class are fortunate to have three class pets – geckos Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie and a toad named Libby.
“It’s a lot of fun, and the scholars love it,” Crow said. “We make rules with the animals, and the scholars learn about taking care of them. We’re able to incorporate a lot of standards and guidelines into three little creatures.”
Crow, a self-described “animal collector”, first discovered the idea of bringing small pets into the classroom when one of her Lake Ridge colleagues successfully applied for a “Pets In The Classroom” Grant.
