My students continue to really struggle with the effects of the pandemic. Our attendance numbers are very low, which is one of the biggest deterrents to student learning and growth. Additionally, when the students are in school, they have been struggling with increased anxiety and attention issues. So, my idea was to create an attendance challenge where the students amass stickers on a tracker. They earn stickers by having perfect attendance for a week. Once students earn 10 stickers they are eligible to receive a prize. I want students to be rewarded with prizes that continue to help them, instead of just homework passes or candy. That's why I chose prizes like fidget toys and stress balls, so students are rewarded with prizes that help their mental health and academic performance. Additionally, I know my kids love things like their popper fidget toys and fidget spinners, so I think this will be very motivating for them.
