We know many public school teachers have very limited resources for the support of classroom animals. That’s why The Pet Care Trust is sponsoring this program to help teachers support pets in the classroom through direct, no- hassle grants. Pets in the Classroom grants are offered to public school Kindergarten through Sixth grade classes only.
Pets encourage nurturing, help build self esteem, teach responsibility and pets become friends! Classroom pets stimulate learning, and enrich the classroom experience. A classroom pet depends on you for its health, happiness and well being. Apply for your classroom pet grant today at [link removed]

I've been thinking about getting snails for my classroom, but I have heard that they multiply VERY quickly...does anyone have snails, and if so how do you cope with all of the new additions? Does the pet store take them back, or do you find them outside instead of buying them so then put the babies outside?
I am thinking about incubating and hatching chicken eggs in my 1st grade classroom. Has anyone had luck with it and have some advise for me as to how to start?
