I am implementing a rewards store where students will be able to purchase items with Panther Paws coupons that they earn for good behavior, participation, and classroom citizenship. Students earn Panther Paws coupons weekly based on the above criteria and can purchase the reward items on Fridays. This is tier-one positive behavior support for all of our students. Students can buy items throughout the school with these Panther Paws coupons, but we are offering more options for students that are not available anywhere else on campus. Students have opportunities to buy school supplies they may need, especially reusable water bottles which are necessary in a warm environment like ours. They will also be able to buy snacks as they often tell us they are hungry and don't get to eat sometimes. Items, like fidgets, are useful for our students that have trouble focusing in class and are helpful in all of their classes, not just ours. Students can also purchase stickers for their water bottles so they can make their water bottle unique and show self-expression.
