This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I am planning on having a class pet for my 3rd graders this upcoming year! My current students chose an Axolotl and will name it. Please help me get my students all the living items it needs to be healthy in our classroom! All these items will help our animals live for many years!
Teaching about responsibility in school is important and having a class pet will help with learning life skills!
My students will learn how to feed it, take care of it, and clean the tank! We will learn the history behind axolotls and do fun projects around our class pet!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
