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
Imagine the joy of having a classroom pet to bring biology lessons to life! A living, breathing classroom critter offers students a hands-on way to observe science in action. From studying its habitat in the fish tanks, diet, and behavior to learning about ecosystems and adaptations, a classroom pet creates unforgettable, real-world learning opportunities. Beyond science, it teaches responsibility, empathy, and care for living things—skills that go beyond the classroom. With your support, we can provide our students with a one-of-a-kind experience that inspires curiosity and a love for the natural world. Help us make science truly come alive!
