- Description
Help preschoolers discover how people care for animals in shelters and how a classroom can lend a hand. This SEL lesson starts with questions about what pets need to stay happy and healthy, then opens a conversation about helping shelter animals.
Use the picture book list, discussion prompts, poster, and worksheet to introduce the topic. If your class is ready to organize a supply drive, the family letter, needed-supplies posters, and collection signs help you invite families to take part. Choose the SPCA or Humane Society versions of the drive materials to suit your project!
