MistyMountain Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 So I volunteered to help be a part of a teaching team for one my my children's activities. I am not good at teaching but it was time to step up and help. Anyhow I do get curriculum but the planned activities are not enough for this hour class. The topic is animals and compassion and how people an animals care for each other. Does any one have any ideas on what type of activity I can do with second graders relating to animals and compassion? It usually is a small group some of whom have not been very engaged. Also are there any favorite books I can search the library for about compassion for animals or animals that show compassion by helping their owners? Help!

mamiof5 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I don't know about specific books, but what about teaching them a little about service dogs? Their training, requirement etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idnib Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 My favorite book about compassion for animals is A Mouse to Be Free. It was my favorite as a child when I was about that age. It's out of print but I've seen it in quite a few libraries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
