Newton class is a group of 6 year olds. I teach math and science to them. Over the last few months in science, we’ve been talking about the five senses. The unit finishes with the sense of touch. I mentioned as we were talking about soft and rough that my cat Ivory is very soft. The kids wanted me to bring Ivory in. I checked with their charge teacher and got her blessing. All last week was rainy so I didn’t want to talk Ivory out. But today was lovely. It helps that I live directly next door to the school. So on my break right before I taught Newton, I ran upstairs and brought Ivory down.
The kids were so excited. Even so, they behaved wonderfully. I was somewhat worried that they would be rough with Ivory, but they were very gentle. I held Ivory while they came up and stroked her. Tina, their charge teacher, was kind enough to take pictures.
Enjoy!
