Tips for homeschoolers

Academy Private Home School would like to welcome Charlie, our new cockatiel.  Chi Chi was a girl,  not as fun since they don't really talk or whistle much.  Charlie already whistles and shouldn't take long to start talking.  Pets are a great addition to any classroom since they provide enriching relationships with the kids and an opportunity to learn about an animal they may not usually have contact with.  http://www.petsintheclassroom.org/resources/benefits-of-classroom-animals/
