This resource was incredible! I am a first year teacher & I really wanted to make tracking students’ reading at home in a more engaging way. I purchased animal stuffies from the dollar store & created a whole pet adoption center. My students were obsessed! They we so excited to take him their pets. I highly recommend this product if you’re looking to spruce up your reading logs.

When schools closed down I wasn’t able to continue with the at home reading program I was using. This was a great find! I took photos of some mini stuffed animals (I am that hoarder teacher) and created an adoption page. The kids chose the animal they wanted to adopt and filled out the forms. Then I put together a package with the stuffed animal, adoption certificate and some paper “food” and a blanket (washcloth). I dropped them off at my kids’ houses with books from school. They LOVED it! Will be using this again as soon as I can!

Colorful and bright pictures which got the students attention. The students were eager to adopt their pet and pick out a name. The journal was a bonus, the kids drew pictures and wrote about the book they read to their pet. It was a great buy!
