My Project

Help my students create and celebrate weekly goals by supplying us with incentives/rewards that can be used as part of our classroom economy! I work with over 100 students in several buildings throughout Spokane. I support teachers in their classrooms during reading and math rotations throughout the day, and I also help run optional after school academic programs focused on reading and math. Let's keep student engagement high as kids go above and beyond to reach their academic goals!

Each week, students have a goal of completing 5 lessons in math and 10 lessons in reading using online programs like DreamBox and Lexia.

When a student meets their academic goal... it's great cause for celebration! The treasures listed in this project are highly desired by my young students and will help to create a positive buzz in the classroom while we work toward our goals.
