Classroom management is TOUGH. My first year of teaching, I tried all the things. Tickets, marbles, candy, etc. I had a mentor teacher that was constantly telling me I needed to switch things up. 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!
