My Project

So far this year I have implemented class rewards. Now that we are moving into the school year, I am ready to implement a behavior incentive for individual students.

I believe the Desk Pet incentive will improve the behavior in my classroom and encourage a sense of empathy and responsibility.

I will give out Desk Pet Dollars to students who follow the responsibility contract. I will watch as the students encourage each other to make our classroom a fun place to learn. These Desk Pets are small erasers and the students will create a habitat for their animal.

With your help, they can earn accessories to go with it. I am excited to see what they build while improving their behavior.
