LOVE this!!! I bought a fish tank and all the supplies for my classroom last year and got reimbursed for all of it!! For aquariums, they allow up to $150. It was so easy and they were quick to send me a check. One of my coworkers did it too! I totally recommend this if you want a pet for your room!
AWWWWWW... I'm sad! It is only for K-6. I have a rabbit that is our classroom pet. He goes home with me every night and I bring him back in the morning. The kids LOVE him and he LOVES them! But the site is great becasue it provides lots of info on the various classroom pets. I added it to may favorites for future reference!!
I got this grant at the end of the school year! I love it! I have two guinea pigs in my class and their supplies can get expensive.
