Science Connection
Help students research different kinds of pets. Have them find out what each pet needs to keep it healthy. 

Math Connection
Have students conduct a survey of their class or other classes to see what kinds of pets are the most common. Have them graph their results. 

Reading Independently
Invite students to reread the book independently or with a partner. Students can also take their books home to read with their families.

Assessment

• Observe students as they read to monitor their reading strategies. Note those students who use good reading behaviors.
• Listen as students make predictions prior to reading and after the Book Walk. Note if their predictions are relevant based on the available information.
• Review students' completed worksheet 2 to assess their understanding of inflectional ending -s.
