This post has been a long time coming, but I wanted to get some good pictures of our class pet. I'm sure you've heard of her, but I would like you to officially meet Notch, the rabbit.
Notch has been a wonderful class visitor, and the students absolutely love it when she comes to see the class. She is sweet and quiet, and she loves to explore. The students were able to have her join them at their desks, they fed her carrots and green apples (her favorite treats!), and Notch even let the students play with her in our circle on the blue carpet and snuggle her close.
We have loved having Notch come to visit, but sadly, we will need to bid Notch a fond farewell. Due to family concerns, I will not be able to keep her. She is going to a very good home, where I know she will be happy. I will be bringing her often next week, so the students will be able to say goodbye. Who knows, maybe one day we will have another class pet!
She was named Notch because of the small notch in her left ear--her mom was cleaning her ears when she was just a baby and accidentally bit through the left ear. The bite healed, but left the notch as a scar.

Notch had a cozy little home in the classroom, where she got to relax after playing with the students. She loved to burrow in the hay, and sometimes we couldn't even find her.
