In this Sept. 11, 2012, photo, Alecia Gundy, left, reaches as teacher Dawn Slinger hands her a gecko and classmate Ava Hand looks on in their first grade classroom in Farmington, Minn. Slinger chooses the animals because they fascinate children, their temperaments are right and they don't bother students with allergies or asthma, she says. Maryland-based Pets in the Classroom project is offering grants to help teachers pay for pets, cages, tanks and supplies of food. It issued its 10,000th grant this summer. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)
