"I have been using the PETS™ materials with our classes and have been pleased at the wonderful creative responses from the children. The lessons are challenging and provide great portfolio items to use for identification. The teachers have been involved and tell me that they look forward to each new lesson. It works! They get involved!" Janet W. - Waco, TX
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!...

PETS™ 2 is an extension of those thinking strategies from the original PETS book. Students now discover how the characters blend their thinking skills as they work together to solve problems.
Each section includes read-aloud stories, a series of whole class activities, detailed lesson plans, reproducibles, and additional activities for small groups.
