Pacman Frog Class Pet

Help me give my students supplies to care for a class pet - a Pacman frog.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rossi's classroom raised $241

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students have a say in our classroom. They wanted to add a class pet to our room to study and care for. They researched and created a persuasive brochure. They presented it to the class, and the vote was unanimous! Having a class pet will help students develop responsibility.

Having a pet will help students study and care for a living creature.

Students will research the best ways to care for a Pacman frog. Learning and researching will support the science curriculum in a real hands-on way. Students will benefit by creating a caring environment in the classroom as well.
