Pets in the Classroom

Our classroom received a grant from Pets in the Classroom. The grant provided us with a new fish tank, materials, and fish. On Monday, October 1st, students worked to set up the new tank. This included cleaning and prepping the tank, rocks, plants, water, and filter system. Students also worked to select fish that would best survive in our new 10 gallon tank. We had to consider the size of the fish when full grown, having enough fish in a school, and staying within our budget. In the end, students decided that 3 Red Dwarf Gourami fish would be the best fit!
