Love of dogs, love of learning

After learning about dogs, dog care and the Iditarod, Friends' School Kindergarten students decided to start a dog food and supply drive for the Boulder Humane Society.

The idea came from two students, Mia and Chesca. Both girls are very interested in the Humane Society and plan on attending one of the summer camps for students. All the students thought this would be a good way to demonstrate their love of dogs by providing much needed supplies for the shelter. Many students have adopted their own pets from the Humane Society. After doing some research about the Humane Society's "wish list", the students created a collection sled.

The sled was decorated with dog pictures and will serve as a container for all the donations. In addition to collecting the supplies, the students are using their math and science skills to determine what is in the dog food, what nutrients it provides for dogs, the difference between various dog foods and how many dogs it will feed. In April the class will take a field trip to the Boulder Humane Society to deliver the supplies.
