Help Stock Paw Mart!

Help me give my students a fully stocked Paw Mart for our positive behavior management system!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alexis's classroom raised $181

My Project

We use Desk Pets as our behavior management system. We give Paw Bucks each day for things like completing tasks, assignments, good behavior, being present at school, etc. This is our 3rd year using Desk Pets to promote positive behavior.

Each Friday, students can spend their Paw Bucks at "Paw Mart." Each student is given a free BIG desk pet at the beginning of each nine weeks.

They shop at Paw Mart for "Snacks," "Buddies," and any other erasers that we think represent desk pets. Holidays are our favorite because we get to bring out themed desk pets for kids to shop for.

We need our Paw Mart fully stocked to keep the kids interested in it all year. We change what is for sale on a monthly basis, always bringing out new surprises that students may shop for.

The kids are so excited about Desk Pets, and we have even noticed where our best attendance is on Fridays...because they get to shop for their Desk Pets.
