Pet Rocks

On Friday we finished up our unit of living vs non living. I started the lesson off my telling them that everyone was going to be able to take home a pet. You should have seen their faces! Some of them had faces of joy, some faces of terror, and some instantly said their parents would never let them take home a pet.  We created a chart to give reasons why a non living pet would be easier to take care of compared to a living pet. We then were able to create our pet rock. After we created our pet rock we completed a form about our pet rock. On the form we had to draw what it looked like, what we used to create it, if it was living or non living and give evidence why, how we were going to take care of it, and we were also able to name it!
