My Project

We all know that students need a variety of behavior incentives and positive reinforcement as they are learning. Over the course of the year, after doing some research about it, I found behavior buddies.

Behavior buddies are stuffed animals that are awarded for different traits such as being on time (Punctual Panda) and kindness (Kindness Kangaroo), and so many other characteristics we encourage our students to be.

These pets will be awarded randomly throughout the week when a child displays the different things I am looking for to earn a different animal. The animal will then move on and they have a chance to earn a different one.
