A new non-fiction book about baby animals in our classroom library sparked an exciting conversation about pets, which ultimately led to the beginning of our new investigation. I knew the kindergarteners were ready for an investigation that would still be hands-on but could also incorporate a bit more of a traditional research element as well. Plus, talking about our pets would be another great way for us all to get to know each other a little bit better and learn about responsibility and caring for animals in the process.
