Me and my pet

The project's presentation

The I*EARN "Me and my pet" project started in 1998. My students, who love to tell storie about their pets, gave me this ideea. At the beginning I planed it like an one year project, but after three years it is still considered interesting by the "pets lovers".
This web site presents the wonderful "pet-stories" sent by children from all over the world in the last two school years. I hope, that you, the visitors of this site, will enjoy to read them and if you find them interesting join us at iearn-animals@us.iearn.org ! The project is still continuing!:)

Have fun!
