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

Who doesn't love stuffed animals? What better way is there than to add a little fun and encourage behaviors using stuffed animals (aka Behavior Buddies)? PBIS (Positive Behavior Incentive System) has always been my priority when encouraging students to invest in their learning, growth, and take ownership of their actions. In the past 13 years of my teaching career, I learned that the behaviors I encourage and focus on are what will increase.

With the help of Behavior Buddies, students will understand behavioral expectations and develop positive social skills.

Each Behavior Buddy will come with a set of expectations. Students who follow these expectations will have a visit from one of the Behavior Buddies for the day. For example, Cheerful Cheetah will visit students who cheer up people who are sad, come to class smiling, have a good attitude, and are excited to learn. Another example of a Behavior Buddy is Caring Koala. Caring Koala visits students who work well with others, help around the classroom, listen when others are talking, and are a friend to everyone.. Below are the names of the remaining Behavior Buddies.

- Zippy Zebra

- Perky Penguin

- Kind Kangaroo

- Happy Hippo

- Positive Panda

- Friendly Flamingo

Behavior Buddies will help students set up for success and receive encouragement to improve along the way. Progress and accomplishments will be celebrated. Please help my class maintain a safe, healthy, and productive classroom environment with the Behavior Buddies!
