My Project

I am requesting desk pets for my students to help them build responsibility and support positive behavior in the classroom.

These small, interactive pets will give students the opportunity to care for something in a meaningful way, fostering a sense of ownership and accountability.

By taking care of their desk pets, students will learn valuable skills such as time management and following routines, which will help them stay focused and engaged. Additionally, these pets will provide a calming presence and serve as a fun, motivational tool for behavior management, encouraging students to stay on task and demonstrate respect for their learning environment.
