Pre-K learns the responsibilities of taking care of a pet. I teach Pre-k to 18 wonderful children. Most of the children come from low income homes and do not have a pet.

My children love to talk and read about pets. They asked me why can't we have one. I explained to them it takes a lot of responsibility and work to take care of a pet. They all said they would pitch in to help. I told them I would try my best to find a way to get a pet.

We need a fish tank and filters. This will help the children with responsibility and teach them how to take care of a pet. The will work together and take turns to care for the fish.

You will make it possible for the children to learn about a pet and how to take care of it. They will have ownership of it because it will be theirs. You will make a huge impact of on class. Thank you for taking the time to read this proposal.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
