My classroom has two class pets... Sammy and Frodo the guinea pigs. These pigs are the highlight of our classroom. The students love to hang out with them, and many students from other classes visit them regularly as well. The students love to observe them, take care of them, and even write stories about them!
Keeping a classroom pet is enjoyable; plus, it teaches responsibility and respect for animals, but it can also be expensive.
Guinea pigs need timothy hay on a regular basis. Also, they love a variety of treats to keep them stimulated. The hay and treats will set our pigs up for the rest of the school year! Thank you for helping me teach my students how to care for and love animals!
More than half of students from low‑income households
