Pet Day - Learn Create Share.

 Last week we had Pet Day at school.  As part of our reading and writing  we got to get creative about what we know about looking after animals.  Here is the work I created.  I worked with Cairo.  I enjoyed writing about animals.  I think what I created will be useful for kids to learn how to look after their animals.

I liked taking pictures of the front of the school, and taking photos from different angles.  The picture I liked best is the second one because its in the front of the school.
