Nasco Responsible Decision-Making Desk Pet Kit

Grades PreK–5

Desk pets are more than just an internet phenomenon — they’re a powerful classroom management and SEL tool you can use to teach your students responsible decision-making and self-management.

Getting started is easy! This SEL kit includes desk pets, accessories, and incentives for up to 30 students, as well as a detailed lesson plan.

The lesson will guide you through using the pets to encourage good classroom behaviors and help students develop their decision-making and self-management skills.

With an adorable creature to care for, you’ll find students completely engaged in the process of earning points for responsible actions, from adoption day to the class graduation ceremony and beyond!
