A Petco Grant

Mrs. Austin was successful when she recently applied for a grant from Petco. Her project was approved and now the children in Mrs. Austin's second grade class are the owners of a leopard gecko. The students are researching how to take care of a gecko and finding information about a gecko's habitat. The students voted on a name for their class pet, Bling.  Mrs. Austin wrote the grant with the hope of instilling responsibility in her young students. The children will share their information about pet care with others in SSS when they create a bulletin board in the hallway.
