My Project

Implementing a system where elementary school classes earn rewards for maintaining good attendance can significantly enhance their educational experience. Consistent attendance fosters a stable learning environment, allowing teachers to effectively cover curriculum material without interruptions. When students are present, they have more opportunities to engage in classroom discussions, participate in hands-on activities, and develop meaningful relationships with peers. This fosters a sense of community and belonging, which in turn boosts morale and motivation to learn. Furthermore, regular attendance establishes routines crucial for academic success, instilling discipline and responsibility early on. By incentivizing attendance with rewards such as extra recess time, class parties, or special privileges, students are encouraged to prioritize their education, leading to improved academic performance and long-term educational outcomes. We currently need popcorn, popcorn bags & other snacks.
