I can’t wait to hear who or what would be coming to school with you! I think I’d bring a penguin, J.K. Rowling, and the world’s biggest pizza.

I would bring a Sloth to school because I think they are such an interesting animal and if it tried to get away it could easily be caught due to they are so slow.
I would bring a large dog to school. It could cuddle and play with the students.
It might be nice to bring a recliner to school…then I could kick back and read a new book! 🙂
I would bring a time machine to school if I could
I would bring a giraffe to school. I just think they are the cutest!
My husband, so he could see what my day is like.
I would love to bring my cat to school. She likes to cuddle on my lap while I work. 🙂
Always wanted a monkey… 🙂
I would bring a koala because I have always wanted one!!!
My dog, Nora. She’d love all the attention of my students when they are in the Library!
I am loving these answers, so much fun!
I would bring my cat, Blue.
I’d bring a basket full of puppies. Not for the kids. For me. 🙂
My husband – I want him to see what teaching is like.
I wish I bring my clone to school. I would get twice as much work done. I could work with students and have fun while my clone does all the tedious planning, assessments, and paperwork! Bleh!
…I wish I COULD bring my clone. Sorry for the error! (My clone wasn’t here to check my work!)
Horton, he’s so delightful!
I would bring a koala because I always share stories about the time I spent in Australia many years ago and they are fascinated with the fact that I held a real koala! What would be better than to bring a real koala into the classroom! 🙂
My puppy!
I would bring an octopus of course. They are my favourite animal and very smart.
I would bring a farting hippopotamus to school. My preschoolers would love it!
I would love to bring a book tree to school. It would produce new and fun filled books for my students all year long!!
I would bring a dolphin to show everyone to keep smiling!
I would bring a wizard wand to help get everything done.
i would totally bring a rockin’ multiplier machine so that everytime a student said,”Mrs. Barber” another one of me would appear. I could then flip a switch and the “extra” Mrs. Barber’s would disapppear until called upon again.
Doesn’t that sound so good?
I would bring a dog to school so my students could read to them during guided reading 🙂
Pete the cat of course
I have a huge thing for all bears, real and stuffed. Living where I do, I am fortunate to see black bears and cubs so, of course, it would have to be bears. Pizza is a must too.
My sweet little Maltese, Casey, would be so much fun at school!
I would love to bring a paleontologist and geologist to class. Most of my students love Earth Science as much as I do and it would be exciting for them to meet some of the important members of this science field.
