Mr. Smith from Atlanta GA is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Engagement + Academic and Behavioral Progress = Incentives

Help me give my students the motivation to stay engaged in class and prepare for state assessments. The gift cards, headphones, and poppits will be used as incentives to reward academic and behavioral progress.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Where do I begin? I have some of the most dedicated and talented scholars in my classroom. Although they are all from a diverse array of socioeconomic backgrounds, I've noticed that all of my scholars have one vision: being the most successful person they can be. These scholars are beyond motivated because they come to school after persevering through an amalgamation of hardships at home and still manage to give 100% in the classroom. I have no choice but to commend them for their effort and make their learning environment as engaging and rewarding as possible.

After nine years as an educator, I can humbly say that I inspire, motivate, and set the bar extremely high for my scholars.

I firmly believe that there is no goal that they are unable to obtain and no standard that they are unable to master. My scholars have set the tone, both behaviorally and academically, throughout the school by showing their respect for other scholars and educators alike. They drive me to want to find new, exciting, inventive, and captivating ways to present the lesson.

My Project

During this time of distance and virtual learning, many students need an extra push to remain active in the classroom. The gift cards, headphones, and poppits will be used to provide students with an incentive to improve academics, behavior, and classroom engagement.

By offering gift cards, headphones, and poppits as incentives, students will have to maintain their academic and behavioral trackers in order to receive an incentive.

Please help my classroom with incentives to increase academic and behavioral engagement in my class. We use ClassDojo to earn points throughout the day and when they individually reach 100 points each I will let them pick from the prize box.
