Introduction
Hello friends!
We are going shopping for the perfect class pet!
Is it...
a hamster?
a bunny?
a turtle?
a chameleon?
a monkey?
a hippopotamus?
Task
We have been given a very important task! A task is a job, and this one is super important! We will explore a few pet options and decide what animal is best for our classroom family!
It is important to think about what kinds of animals we could keep safely in our classroom!
Process
In this webquest, we will explore the options for our classroom pet using this link:

We will answer yes or no questions from our checklist.
After that, you will draw and color a picture of the animal you choose.
Evaluation
Then we will vote on whether it will be a good classroom pet or not.
We will put our findings together in a chart and review our findings!
Conclusion
Congratulations! We have learned about some new animals and what makes them good pets or not good pets. We can sort those pets into groups, and we can choose what classroom pet will work best for us!
We will all make the decision together based on our findings.
Teacher Page
This lesson is an introduction to our pet and animal study. Students will have some background information about pets, but this will give them a nice segue into other animals and their habitats!
