In this 1st-grade classroom, students are learning an invaluable lesson—caring for a pet goes beyond feeding and cleaning. It’s about respect, kindness, and understanding for all living things. We are proud to help bring these lessons and more to students. 📷PC: Emily Thoreson

"Charlie [bearded dragon] has helped students with their imagination! Students were excited to write a story about Charlie escaping and flying away in a hot-air balloon. They collaborated on writing, and each got to illustrate their own story." ~ Kitty McDowell, grant recipient

Keep Your Classroom Bearded Dragon Active! In the wild, lizards spend their days exploring, hunting, and staying alert to their surroundings. It’s important to replicate these natural behaviors by providing enrichment! Add climbing structures, hiding spots, & foraging toys.
