This module provides your child with an opportunity to enjoy stories about cats and dogs. In Set 1, the focus will be on cats. The activities and stories in Set 2, will focus on dogs. In Set 3, your child will be given the opportunity to choose one of these animals, either domestic or wild to research. If your child has access to a computer, he or she will be able to find the information to complete his or her research project. If your child does not have access to a computer, he or she will need to look for information in books from a local library or from other sources.
