There is a small hill at my grandma's house so we walked over to it carrying both of the guinea pigs. When we got there we sat them down on the grass…

already so proud of them. Since the class is progressing so well, I think it is a great time to introduce the new class pets on Monday. Their names are Sweet-Pig and Piglet; two female guinea pigs.

I have chosen three options that I think would be good class pets. My three choices for the class pet is a hedgehog, turtle, or lizard.

This book is a chapter book with seven chapters, but even though it is a chapter book it has pictures along with it. This book is a very funny book about a little girl and her guinea pig.
