My Project

Our 2nd grade classroom would love to upgrade our classroom pet! Our students love having the opportunity to care for an animal and have enjoyed having responsibilities that are all their own.

Having classroom pets teaches students many skills: caring for others, responsibility and kindness.

These items would help us to upgrade our current hamster cage and add a few items to the cage as well. Our classroom pet has been a pillar to our classroom family and students have already benefited from this experience. We would love to continue with this experience in our classroom. With your help, that will be possible.
