Meet our new adorable furry friends!  Jupiter Red Samoa (all dark brown) and Fizzy Fuzzbert Chips Ahoy (mixed browns) are the two guinea pigs who have stolen our hearts!  My kindergarten students love cuddling and holding them on their blanket.  Each school day the student pet caretaker will check Jupiter and Fizzy’s food and water supply and will also give them their vitamins.  Guinea pigs do not produce enough Vitamin C on their own, so we give them a supplement.   Having a class pet teach responsibility and the importance of team work.  It also teaches empathy and developing social skills.
