Petting Zoo

This week at the Academy of Gateway we have learned all about animals. The children have really enjoyed learning the difference between farm animals and wild animals. The children had lots of fun choosing which animal is their favorite. We had them bring in photos of their animals at home and let their classmates learn all about how to take care of the animal.

  Here are some great benefits to having a pet with your children

• Pets give unconditional love
• Pets can teach empathy
• Pets can teach confidence and responsibility
• Animals can help socialize children and increase verbal skills. 

Here at The Academy of Gateway we had Molly's Ark petting zoo. The children absolutely loved it. They got to learn about the animals, brush the animals, and feed them.
