Take a walk around the school to identify petsin the various classrooms. Discuss with the children why the pets are living things. List the characteristics that the children point out. Next, make a list of characteristics of nonliving objects. Compare the two lists, and look at the book Living and Nonliving by Carol Lindeen. Ask the children if they saw any of the objects on the walk.
