Our class pet, a Syrian long hair hamster I purchased last weekend after the class saved 100 Bethlehem dollars, has found his place within the hearts of many students.
The students are still learning appropriate boundaries to keep with Apollo, especially if he is napping. He gets a little grumpy if he is poked through the cage while sleeping, yet is slowly adjusting to his 5th grade habitat.
He has enjoyed strolls in his ball during brain breaks within the classroom, and will fall asleep in his ball if he ends up beneath the computer table.
Having Apollo around continues to be a huge incentive for my students. They also know that he needs to be looked after. For a few days many students made sure he was getting enough food, water, and attention!
Whereever you may be,
God has given us great responsibility—
to be stewards to the great and small,
Dutifully serving them all!
