Pets In The Classroom

We are so excited to have a classroom pet!  Our class welcomed a leopard gecko to our classroom today.  The kids were super excited!  A special thank you goes to the Pet Care Trust, Pets In The Classroom, and Petsmart for giving our class a grant to purchase this pet. We will be able to do many fun activities with our gecko, including, writing, reading, math, science, research, and learning about pet responsibility.  For our first activity, each family will decide on a name for our lizard.  We will then take a vote to see which name receives the majority vote.  I have included pictures of our new pet along with some recent chemical lab photos.  Enjoy!
