Teachers are you getting ready for “Back to School?” Preparing classroom activities and lesson plans?
Have you thought about having a pet in your classroom, or do you have one? Pets in the Classroom (www.petsintheclassroom.org) is an educational grant program designed specifically for teachers to have a classroom pet. Grants are awarded in amounts of $50, $100 and $150 to purchase a classroom pet, or to purchase food and supplies.
This program offers teachers a way to add to the classroom environment, making it more interesting, as well as providing the opportunity to utilize the pet in the curriculum itself. Classroom pets can play a role in science, math, language arts and creative arts curriculums, as well as providing a place for children to spend some of their free time in the classroom caring for and interacting with the pet.
