My Project

My students work hard each week to earn PAWS points in our classroom, the cafeteria, on the playground, on the bus, and all over the school. At the end of the week, we open up our classroom store for students to be able to shop using the points that they have earned. The more excited my students are about the rewards they are able to buy, the more they are incentivized to show amazing behavior throughout our entire school.

My treasure box is a great motivator to follow school and classroom expectations, it will also help our classroom continue to be a positive, welcoming environment.

I want to be able to give students new and exciting things to encourage them to keep up the positive behavior throughout the school and become positive leaders in the hallways.

They are an amazing group of students who deserve to be celebrated in as many ways as possible. The items that I've added to my project are specific items that students have requested that they would want to earn for showing positive behaviors.

Students are motivated in different ways. some are intrinsically and some are not as much. So our treasure box has helped students reach their academic goals and curtail their behavior challenges. Good behavior and effort should not go unnoticed. Help me keep the treasure box filled with unique and motivating items.
