Wandering through the classrooms at JTSD, we stopped by Summer Holmes's third grade classroom and noticed the two new friends she had caged in the corner--RAT friends! She shared with us a website: petsintheclassroom.org, which gives grants to teachers for classroom pets!
If you've ever thought about having a classroom pet, check out the site. What are the benefits of a classroom pet?
*Responsibility - feeding and care
*Bonding - sensitivity and awareness
*Persuasive Writing - which pet should we get?
*Research - what would our class pet need to survive?
*Habitats - what kind of environment does our pet need?
