On my way to the airport earlier this week, I stopped by Jamila’s second grade classroom to see how her first day of school was going. She was reading aloud a book about Guinea pigs to introduce a new class pet to her students. “Why are you wearing rubber gloves?” I asked.
“For guinea pig protection,” she replied. “He was scratching me, and I’m not used to him yet.” It is her first class pet. I see an observation station in her future! Check back to watch how this station unfolds in Jamila’s classroom. When will she be able to remove the gloves??? Stay tuned!
