My Project

This year I want to implement a positive classroom management system through the use of desk pets! Not only will this management system serve to reinforce positive behavior, it will also serve as a classroom economy system so that students can learn how to earn money, how to identify coins and their value, how to add money, how to budget their money, and how to spend it on goods.

Students work harder and learn better when they feel safe and secure in their environment.

Providing a positive classroom management system will help support a positive classroom environment for all of the students in my class.
