My Project

COVID-19 has impacted the way my students relate to one another. There is more disrespect and a lack of meeting classroom behavior expectations. Using our school's PBIS program, I plan to give my students motivation to learn and practice those expectations and learn how to relate to others in a positive manner.

The snacks and fidgets are motivating to my students.

With our positive ticket system, the students work to earn the tickets by being responsible, respectful, and caring. When they collect a certain amount they can purchase these things from the classroom store.

The Scholastic Magazines are going to be a fantastic tool to engage the students in reading the non-fiction genre.
