My Project

This year our class theme is the Ocean, so we have four Glo Fish as our class pets! My first graders love them and watch them every day. They are learning how to feed and take care of them.

Keeping the fish aquarium clean and keeping the fish fed has been costly.

We need water purifier, gravel and gravel cleaner, daily fish food, and weekend fish feeders. With your help, we can continue to feed and and keep their home clean so my first graders can keep these beautiful glo fish!
