This free dog printable would make a wonderful display for a lesson on OUR FAMILY PETS. The students could color or paint the dog a color of their choice, then they could cut it out and glue to a piece of construction paper and fill in the background, or even draw themselves with their "NEW DOG!"
Once your students have done the mini-art activity, have a quick brain storm session about your students' previous knowledge about different types of Family Pets! Create an entire class anchor chart listing everything they might tell you, fish, cat, turtle, horse.... I live in the middle of the country.... cow, pig, etc. are also common! ♥
You can then extended this lesson by having your children write about a new family pet that they would like if there were no limits on money or shelter. A camel? A giraffe? You will love their creativity!
