BINGO-Rewarding Inner City Students for Hard Work and Perseverance

Help me give my students incentives to keep working hard and following school norms. With 100% special education, inner city students we need help rewarding positive behavior, perseverance, and working toward individual social, emotional, and academic goals!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Dutton's classroom raised $723

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

All students in our school are special education identified students with social, emotional, behavioral challenges. Coming from the inner city, our students are faced with challenges inside and out of the classroom. Our incentives and rewards provide motivation to our students to continue making good decisions and staying on the right path.

Our BINGO games reward students for their hard work, commitment to excellence, and adhering to our school-wide norms and BEST philosophy.

Students are eligible for prizes based on the points they earn each day for Being Responsible, Encouraging Kindness, Safety First, and Try, Try, Trying Again. Our school is 100% special education and as a Title 1 school receives limited funding due to the small class sizes.

The donated items will be used as motivators, incentives, rewards, and prizes for students to strive to earn through the many programs we offer. Students earn DOJO points for following the principles of BEST, they earn raffle tickets for their daily points earned (for classwork completion, participation, being responsible and respectful, and encouraging kindness), and students can also participate in BINGO games when they have earned weekly levels for doing their BEST.
