If you’re looking for effective classroom management for new teachers or veterans – you’re in the right place! My first year of teaching, I tried all the things. Tickets, marbles, candy, etc. In the end, none of those things were effective because I wasn’t consistent. I had to create a system that would work for my kids! Each Behavior Buddy comes with its own set of expectations. Students who follow these expectations get to have an animal on their desk for the day. The kids never know who will be chosen, so they always need to be following the rules! My students are very motivated by these special friends and I know yours will be too!
*Quick Note: Each of the animals are linked through the Amazon Affiliate Program. I will receive a tiny, (and I mean tiny) commission if you purchase the items. There is no extra cost for you, it’s just a small way to support me so I can create more content!
