Homeschool Credits: Pet Care

As we swing deeper into homeschooling with our Bluey, we’ve established one of our recurring themes: Pet Care.  We have a lot of animals in our house, and Bluey frequently discusses his desire for a pet of his own, or to perhaps become a veterinarian one day.

So one of our missions, on Mondays or Tuesdays, is Pet Care 101.  We go to the pet store.  We take the dog on a trip to the woods or a dog park.  We go to the vet.  We clean the fish tank.

And along the way, our Bluey learns many different aspects of caring for critters.  He reads signs and labels in the stores, practices counting, and learns how much a fifty pound bag of dog food weighs.  Bluey also meets and interacts with numerous people from all walks of life.

In addition to learning about carnivores, herbivores, egg layers, live birthers, forest dwellers, tree dwellers and water dwellers— our Bluey learns about his city and the natural habitats in his neighborhood….All this and more from Pet Care 101.

Your day-to-day tasks can become wide-ranging topics of learning for your family.  Who knows what our next theme might be for Bluey?
