With kids back to school and Halloween on its way I thought it would be nice to combine the two for a good old fashioned logic puzzle.

Edgar Allan Poe Elementary is not like other schools. Instead of the usual goldfish or hamster for a class pet, these kids like to pay homage to their school's namesake with some interesting pets. Using the clues below figure out which pet belongs to which grade and who the teacher for each class is.

  1. Mr.King's class had a scorpion named Sparkles
  2. The third grade pet was named Fluffy
  3. Mr. Barker did not teach first or second grade
  4. The teacher who owned Twinkle Toes the black mamba did not teach first grade
  5. Mrs. Rice who did not have a subway rat as a class pet taught a higher grade than Mr. Barker
  6. Mr. Lovecraft taught second grade
  7. The 4th grade had a black mamba for a pet
  8. The tarantula was named Fuzzy
