My Students

"The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it." In the upcoming school year, we hope to mold and build our students character and reward them for their positive behavior and actions.

Our school uses Positive Behavior Support in Schools (PBSIS) to teach kindergarten through 8th grade students about behavior and rules in a school setting.

We are teaching our students rules, positive behaviors and ways to correct negative behavior in a positive way.

My Project

Our students are limited in many resources at home and at school because of the low-economic area they live in. Some of our students are English Learners and need visual and auditory aids to better learn math concepts. These resources will be used as a reward to 2 students who exhibited positive behavior in the school year. Supplied with the iPod touch, students will be able access the school's apple account and gain access to all the educational apps the school as purchased. One of the most successful programs for intervention have been the Splash Math series, which the student will now have access to at their homes!

Your donations will make a huge impact in the success of PBSIS in my school.

My students will learn to be positive, maintain positive relationships and provide positive words when speaking. The lucky students will also have increased access to resources in a technology driven society, giving them a better chance to succeed in life.
