You should get some white cloud mountain minnows.
Don't get schooling fish.
Also, guppies are good, just be sure to get a male.

you could........get a bigger tank!!! I have a 55 gallon african cichlid tank in my classroom, it is AWESOME!!! The kids LOVE it and help take care of it (help with water changes, they measure out the food for each day, they use the MagFloat to clean the glass, help with rock placement, etc..).
With a 1 gallon bowl, you are doing to have difficulty keeping much of anything, IMO (does it have any type of filtration or oxygenation?). I would be worried about weekends (especially the 4 day variety) if you don't have any type of filtration (especially if you go with more than one fish....possible ammonia issues). You will also have to do frequent water changes (assuming that you don't have any filtration....which is an assumption). If your principal allows it (and you want to do it), I would look on craigs list for a nice used set-up in your area, or you could put something in a newsletter asking anyone if they have an aquarium that they don't use anymore, we actually had a grandparent donate a 40 gallon aquarium with all the fix-ins (filter, stand, hood, light, pumps, siphon hose, etc...) this year...all they wanted was a donation slip.
What grade do you teach?

I am a little confused. Is your teacher letting you keep a small tank in a certain room? If so, you could go with something a little bit larger that you can actually keep fish comfortably in. There are many 2 1/2 gallon set ups that include the filter and light, for about $30.

well, what happend was, my friend was gonna give me a 1g fish tank because i needed it, but before he offered me it i already went out and bought one for 10$, i used that one for a pod tank. Now i have teo 1g tanks, one in my room, and one at school. I dont want to by another, because this is all out of my pockett, and i just bought a new iPod and i have 30 bucks left, so im on a tight budget. Next time im getting money will be on the 31st. and i will prabably be getting only around 60-70.
