Behavior Buddies

Help me give my students a behavior buddy that can sit on their desk for the day!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Argueta's classroom raised $359

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Classroom management systems are effective in managing student behavior and learning because they sustain an orderly learning environment for students, enhance students' academic skills and competencies, and further social and emotional development. I wanted to try a different classroom management system that focuses on positive behavior. This project consists of stuffed animals that will become my students' behavior buddies. Each buddy represents different positive behaviors that I want my students to exhibit.

Each Behavior Buddy comes with its own set of expectations.

Students who follow these expectations get to have an animal on their desk for the day. The kids never know who will be chosen, so they always need to be following the rules! My students will be very motivated by these special friends.

I really want to create a positive learning environment and I believe that these buddies with help with that. By donating to our project, you will help me be able to connect with my students on a social-emotional level and you will help me with my classroom management.
