Energize Labs suggests that there's even more fun to be had if you get Eilik a friend, as these desk robots can interact with one another through friendship or the occasional fight, which I'd love to see. Much like classroom job applications, these can be filled out by your students as a way of practicing persuasive writing without them even realizing that they’re learning.

Not to be confused with live classroom pets, desk pets are miniature eraser animals that come in a variety of animal types. It is a simple reward system that is simple to implement and can be used in elementary classrooms up to middle school.Read on for the ultimate guide to using desk pets, find out who started desk pets and explore our favorite teaching resources that you can print right now! So, now that we've covered the basics of what Desk Pets are, let's talk about how to best manage them in your classroom!

Instead of focusing on individual rewards such as desk pets, I would encourage you to have your students work towards a class goal to help build a sense of community and teamwork. I think that if you’ve been considering on whether or not desk pets would work for you and your students, I think they can.

For example, if a desk pet is 25 points, students would need to earn 25 points, before they could submit an application for adoption. Once students get started adopting a desk pet and collecting the building materials, they often go home and tell their parents all about it. For the younger children, a physical item (such as a ticket) helps give them a better understanding of the concept. Students who just earned a Desk Pet had to wait until the next Friday to earn the accessories for their Desk Pet. The accessories (see picture below) were small erasers that I had organized into four categories- Fruits and Veggies, Sweets and Treats, Holiday Accessories, and Pet Accessories.

Students would send me messages about how much they wanted a certain Desk Pet, and I knew they were working hard to earn the one they wanted. Of course, they’re a great classroom reward system and option for classroom management in the classroom and there are plenty of ways to incorporate those mini erasers into your daily classroom activities. One way to do this is to set out collectibles–seasonal items that only come out in particular times of year. What to get someone that loves dogs or cats - a bespoke, personal picture that shows off those they absolutely dote on.As for other AI desktop pet options, there's also the amazingly named EMO desk robot created by Living. Whether built into the day or earned, students will want to play with their Desk Pets in the classroom. We continued each Fun Friday by passing out new Desk Pets to those who earned one for the first time and letting the others who already owned a Desk Pet choose three new accessories. Yes, yes, they are, BUT, if you introduce desk pets in a way that gets your students begging you for their own desk pet, then you’ve won my friend. Teachers are using them as a rewards system for good behavior in which the students earn desk pets, as well as food, treats, and other desk pet accessories.

Have students create and sign a contract with you before they earn their Desk Pets so that everyone is clear about the rules and expectations. Holidays and seasons are always changing and so do the habitats sitting on the desks of my students.At the end of April everyone took their pets and accessories home, and we started fresh in May and repeated the process. I don’t require my students to participate in desk pets, but it is an option for how they can spend their money.
