Hi <g class="gr_ gr_48 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="48" data-gr-id="48">Naioki</g>!
We applied for a grant through Pet Supermarket's Pets in the Classroom project. There is an application online, on their website. If you are selected, the children get to pick from 4 animals, fish, guinea pig, hamster or rabbit. We spoke to our licensing rep and she advised us to let the parents know so we could determine if any child had an allergy to any animals. Once we addressed the allergy situation and determined none of our children or families had allergies to animals, we designed our lesson plans <g class="gr_ gr_59 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="59" data-gr-id="59">according</g> based on a Pet theme. We talked about the choices and talked about care<g class="gr_ gr_62 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style replaceWithoutSep" id="62" data-gr-id="62">.Our</g> children voted and the hamster won the vote.
Good luck in your journey to have a classroom pet!

Hello there,
We are curious about having pets in the classroom. In the past we have only had fish as pets that we take care of in the classroom, which the children enjoyed tremendously. This year our Pre-K classroom would like to care for a Ginea Pig? Are there any rules or concerns with having this type of pet in the classroom?
Thank you in advance for your responses!
