Tza'ar Ba'alei Chayim, Taking care of animals


Taking care of animals whether in the classroom or at home was a great theme in one of the 3 year old classes.
The children leaned that in the Talmud it tells us we should not buy an animal unless we can take care of it and we should feed our animals before we feed ourselves.
In school the kids experienced taking care of the classroom fish as well as some visiting birds to learn about the responsibilities of caring for our feather friends.
The children made bird feeders by stringing Cheerios on a string and hanging them on a neighborhood tree.
All the kids went to the class pet shop to purchase a stuffed pet. They will keep them in their cubbies all week-name them, feed them , play with them and take them for walks.
