My Project

Students are just kids, right? Kids like pets, right? How motivating would it be for kids to have their own desk pets to care for in class? Let me tell you, it's highly motivating! I teach twenty-six, wonderful, nurturing, sweet boys and girls. My students will be encouraged to work hard and behave well if they have a cute little critter on their desks watching them work. Students will earn money in class as positive reinforcement, and can then buy desk pets, homes, accessories, and more! Desk pets help kids learn money management and responsibility, all in a fun way!
