My classroom is almost finished!
Hip Hip Hooray!
I have put in many, many hours this week. I can’t wait to share pictures soon!
Now I am thinking about some of the “details” of my classroom. I am wrestling around the idea of a classroom pet. In elementary school I LOVED when teacher’s had pets. I want a pet that would be fun for the kids, but somewhat easy for me. I have thought about a frog, or a hermit crab or maybe a rabbit?

In my classroom pet google-ing I came across this awesome
program: Pets in the Classroom. They have six different grants to help fund
classroom pets for the purpose of teaching children how to care and bond with
animals. The grants can be used to purchase
the pet and supplies and equipment needed. Applications for the 2012-2013
school year will be available on August 1st. The information can be
found at the Pets in the Classroom website HERE.
I also came across an entire blog about classroom pets! You
may recognize some of the blog contributors too. Visit Critters in the
Classroom by clicking HERE.
So, here are my questions for you:
Do you have a classroom
pet?
What kind?
Any pet advice?
I hope you are having a great weekend! : )
