Your writing is looking great! You did a good job of including relevant/reliable sources. Your writing is informative without being biased. Just make sure that you correct any grammatical errors before publishing. Otherwise, great work! Autumn Smith

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will keep this in mind as I continue to work. Madelyn Michael ~

I have gone over any grammatical errors on my piece I published. Thanks again! Madelyn Michael

I am glad to here that our writing does not sound biased that was something I was worried about and I am glad to have heard a second opinion! Jaimie Knight

I agree with the statement about social-emotional development with classroom pets! They do add a positive vibe to the classroom. I would like to read more about the studies you found to back up your information. How did they conduct the research? You could go into more detail about the results! For the academic, I like it! But like Jessica said, just insert your research to back up the statements. I think it is looking great though! Keep up the hard work! Taylor Hays ~

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will keep this in mind as I continue to work. Madelyn Michael ~

On my part I did add more about the research. Thanks for this suggestion! Madelyn Michael

Adding more about the research that was conducted will really make my readers see that the topic was thoroughly researched and believe that my writing comes from a credible source. Thanks for the idea! Jaimie Knight

I think this looks really good so far! Make sure to add links. I would suggest where you talk about the reasearch to back up your statements. Then if someone wants more information they can check out the link to the research! I see that you have links here as well! Add those in there as well depending on what they are focusing on! Overall, looks good so far! Jessica Holman~

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will keep this in mind as I continue to work. Madelyn Michael~

I was able to go back and add my citations so that they could look at the research I talk about. Madelyn Michael

Thank you for the advice about adding the links, I did not think about someone wanting to add more information and using my links to enhance what I have already written on a topic. Jaimie Knight

Social-emotional Development: Madelyn Michael

Classroom pets can support young children's social-emotional development. Classroom pets help build positive relationships. This can be done by students's discussions about classroom pets, such as what to name it, and how to care for it and then working together to do so. This also aids in the development in friendships within the classroom. Students develop a sense of caring about others other than themselves through tending to the needs of the animals in the classroom. Discussions about the behaviors of the animals in the classroom, what they mean, and what the students can do about it can help students become empathetic towards others. Classroom pets also teach children the value of routines and rules. Young children's interaction with classroom pets can also help them manage feelings and emotions. Research has shown that children need an empathetic listener whenever they feel troubled. Children can be encouraged to share their feelings with their animals if they do not want to express them with an adult.~

One study compared students in a classroom with class pets to one without for 8 weeks. The study found that both parents and teachers reported that the students in the class with the guinea pigs had greater increases in social skills and decreases in behavior problems at the end of the 8 weeks. These results support similar previous study results.~

Studies have shown the having a classroom pet helps to decrease behavior problems. This decrease in behavior problems leads to an increased engagement.

A study was done on school children that fed wild birds at home for a 10 week assignment. These birds were not actual pets in the classroom. The teacher was able to bring the involvement of live animals into the classroom without keeping them in the classroom. On this particular assignment The elementary students showed a great increase in bird knowledge after the assignment involving feeding live birds as well as

Teacher enthusiasm in a classroom pet can spread to students being interested in the creature brought into the classroom. Bringing animals into the classroom leads to curiosity, students want to learn more about this interesting creature and others like it. Classroom teachers may tell students where the animals was found and what its characteristic are. Children may be given books and magazine to explore more about insects, mammals, etc. Using scientific labels can lead to students using these accurate names for animals. Having animals in the classroom can lead to more than just an increase in science academia. It can help students develop observation skills, or be a topic of a research project or paper.

Class pets are used as a topic of research and help students develop observational skills (Swingler, 1965, p.8)

Students will learn not just from having a research topic but by also learning how to take care of the animal, what it needs to survive. Some students even take home the animal during school breaks. Students also learn about the characteristic and trait of animal species. (p.20) Science is not the only subject that is involved with classroom pets, math can also be learned. Students can evaluate how big or tall an animal is. THey may also use graphs and charts to analyze how quickly or how far it travels. Students can create murals and other art projects from the appearance of an animal. ELA and science may work together with classroom pets, students may research and then write books or create presentations about the animals.

Bringing Pets to the Classroom: Apply for grants, PTA, students can raise money with bake sales or car washes. Some pet store owners may offer teachers a discount. Bassette, L.
