My Students

My students attend a wildlife themed high school where there are no animals for them to experience. This year we will have a Holland lop rabbit named Lucy. In order to properly care for Lucy, there are bunny supplies we need to make her comfortable and to help us take care of her.

The students this project would be helping are 9th and 10th graders taking Environmental Science as well as students in 9th and 10th grades taking one of my wildlife related electives.

My students come from very diverse backgrounds and reside in a very urban area of New York. Every student at our school receives free lunch as well as breakfast in the mornings. We are a public school which focuses on wildlife and environmental education whenever possible. We strive to help our students become globally aware citizens.

My Project

My students need trash bags, a playpen, an animal carrier, bedding and other materials to help them take care of their class rabbit Lucy. These resources are going to help my students immensely. For starters, with the Critter Litter and bedding they will be able to take responsibility and care for Lucy. This is also why we are asking for the biodegradable trash bags. My students will be able to properly care for her by cleaning out her pen (our requested litter is also non-toxic) and using environmentally safe bags to dispose of the soiled litter and bedding. The gate system will also make it possible for Lucy to come out of her pen into a bigger area while the students are in the classroom. This will let them sit next to her while working or simply watch her in action to observe her behaviors. The mat and basket along with the chew toys will also go into the playpen with her so that she is comfortable while running around. We are also asking for a pet carrier. This is crucial for Lucy as it will be how she gets to and from school over the weekends via the subway!

Everyone should experience the joy of having a class pet at some point in their education.

Many of my high school students will be experiencing this joy for the first time this coming school year. Not only will Lucy, our Holland lop, bring joy and excitement but she will also help my students develop a sense of responsibility.
