I am the gifted resource teacher at a PK-6th grade school. For the last 4 years I have been using "Primary Education Thinking Skills" with all of the first grade classes on a regular basis. I go into each of the classrooms weekly with new lessons from PETS. The teachers stay in the classroom and use this time to observe their own students. Teachers and parents love the skills taught by these fun loving characters. The students often make comments throughout the week such as "You mean to think like Dudley?"! I use PETS books 2 and 3 in the resource class with the gifted students!...
