My Project

If a student is exhibiting a negative behavior, they need to be taught a replacement positive behavior. Often times students thrive on positive praise. Once taught the replacement positive skill and praised for the positive behavior, students can develop positive school behaviors that last!

Books are a powerful way to help students see characters developing the same positive behavior skills.

The books in this project will be used as read alouds in classrooms and the library to help reinforce positive school behaviors that we want to see in our students. Classroom discussions will deepen the understanding of applying what they heard in the book to their own lives. The project also includes some fun prizes to give out as I see students going above and beyond in the library and school.
