Sharing Sam Responsible pet ownership is taught through a flannel board story about a dog named Sam.
Children learn that companion animals have special needs.
This hands-on lesson teaches children the huge responsibility of caring for a pet. Children learn how to be good pet parents by pulling items from the pet's suitcase, identifying them and learning about their purpose. A lesson every child should learn, being safe around animals. This program will teach children the right way to meet a dog, how to read their body language and what to do if a strange animal approaches them. K - 5th Grade.
