My Project

The goal of my project is to enforce and encourage positive behavior. In my twenty plus years of teaching, I have found rewards such as these requested snacks to be a great motivator. I have found students are willing to learn in order to receive a treat at the end of their performance. However it has proven to be quite taxing on my budget. It would be greatly appreciated to have support in this area to help turn out life long learners. I see this incentive as a door to our future regardless of how I may have to bribe to get them there.

Thank you so much for your kindness and contribution to this project.
