Hello scholars,
Look at these puppies!   I can still remember how soft their fur was and the sweet, quiet sounds of their breathing.  These sweet puppies belong to a student from Aspire and one day she surprised me by bringing them by my office for a visit.  I thought they were the cutest puppies I had ever seen!  So adorable and so precious!  My question to you is, why!  What is it about baby animals that makes them look so cute?  What do you think?  Today we will ask ourselves this very question - why do baby animals look so cute?  By the end of today's lesson, you will be able to explain your thinking to someone else.  Let's get started!
