Class Pets

Help me give my students the joy of caring for two class pets (Guinea Pigs). Pets bring increased sensitivity and awareness of the feelings and needs of others—both animals and humans.

My Project

Findings show that the presence of pets in the classroom may increase social skills and competence for children and, additionally, be effective in decreasing select problem behaviors in the classroom while making students more excited to come to school.

My students benefit from caring for and nurturing animals while building social bonds with their peers.

The Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI), The Pet Care Trust, and American Humane’s Pets in the Classroom Study assessed the social, behavioral, and academic effects of the presence of small, resident classroom animals in 591 third and fourth-grade students across the United States. The study’s findings suggest that classroom pets may help improve academic performance and social skills in children.
