Pets are a popular thing for people around the world to have, and Mr. Seme's class is no exception! With 20 students and 1 teacher, 3 students and the teacher have one pet, 11 students have more than one pet, and six students don't have a pet.

Gigi Chakhvashvili, fourth grader in Mr. Seme's class, who fosters animals, says, “I've fostered 3 dogs and 14 cats. I love fostering animals, except they poop on my floor. I love fostering because the animal can love you, and you can love it.”

Another fourth grader, Pepin Gihring, who has 3 pets — 2 recently adopted guinea pigs named Mya and Nova, and 1 mini black labradoodle named Luna — says, “I love having pets! The best part about having two pets of my own is that I can be independent. And I love having Luna because I love dogs. One thing I wish was different about my guinea pigs though is that I wish they would warm up to me faster and let me hold them.” These are just two very experienced pet owners in Mr. Seme's fourth grade class. There are many other experienced pet owners in this class, but these are just two very experienced pet owners.
