One of my favorite reasons for having a pet in the classroom is the opportunities students can have to bond with an animal. Whenever Hercules comes to school, I like to have him read with the children during our workshop time. He sits in a little pouch that the students wear while they hold him close and read. He loves with warm, snuggly, peaceful time. On Thursday, he was so comfortable, he climbed up out of the pouch to say hello. Enjoy our little prickly friend's greeting!

Reading With Hercules
Hercules turned 7 months-old yesterday. Our little pricklepuss has really shown off his adventurous and courageous personality as he has grown. Although hedgehogs are solitary, shy creatures, Hercules is increasingly outgoing with the help of our class. They give him a (mostly) quiet place to hang out and treat him with love and respect.
