[quote=Anonymous]Two of my kids ES classes had pets, they were well loved and the kids were excited to take them home for the weekend. In 6th grade they completed a science project where the class hatched chicken eggs and the kids could choose to take care of them at home for the weekend. The chicks were brought to all the classrooms for the kids to interact with. It is one of the highlights of the year. They are then given to a local farm to live their lives and lay eggs. Your child is likely to be moved to a different class if you don't want them in the room with the class pet. Or your child will be the target of angry kids when the class pet is removed from the class. We had a class pet in many of my classes as an ES student, it was great. They are not all that distracting but they can be calming for kids who are a bit worked up. They change the vibe of the classroom, I guess today it would be the aura of the classroom.[/quote]
