Desk Pets
Classroom Management System
The children will have classroom buddies this year! Each month, the children will adopt a new desk pet. (The pets are animal erasers). The pets live in a dome home that stays either on or in their desk. It is the children’s responsibility to take care of their pet. This means that the children must feed, entertain and clean up after their pet.
The children will shop in Ms. Tascone’s shop to purchase items for their pets. The currency at my shop is tickets! The children earn tickets by making good choices in class.
My hope is that this system will encourage children to make good choices! However, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. If poor choices are made, the pet will visit our “Pet Hotel”. When better choices are made, the pet can return home.
At the end of the month, the children can take home their desk pet. They will participate in lots of desk pet activities this year. Stay tuned!
I hope the children LOVE caring for their desk pets this year!
Love,
Miss. Tascone
