bottom), making thin strips.
• Unroll a long strip of tape. • Attach the strips to the tape, piece-by-piece, with the “inside” of the strips being the part that sticks to the tape.
• Once all of the strips are attached to the tape, wrap the tape around one end of the card- board hanger tube. Be sure to leave a few extra inches of tape that is not covered in strips, so that you can wrap it around the outside for extra security.
• When possible, take your class to a shelter for a field trip. Ask for a tour, volunteer to wash dishes or do laundry, play with or exercise pets (Most shelters have a minimum age.), or make enrichment activities.
• Host a fundraiser for your local rescue or spay/ neuter clinic; get creative! Host a drawing con- test of local adoptable pets or sell baked goods in the shapes of cute critters.
