Everyone Should Be Rewarded for Hard Work in the Classroom

Help me give my students wonderful rewards that will make a difference in their education

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nakahara's classroom raised $634

My Project

Words cannot express how proud I am of these students for all their hard work and dedication. They come to class each day with a smile on their face and a growth mindset...even though life at home is not always perfect. But as we all know, some of our students need just a little more encouragement to stay motivated and do their best. Sometimes they need just the smallest incentive (bookmark, slinky, sticker, eraser, etc) to get them to put their best foot forward and reach for the stars. With your donations, our class would have a bountiful supply of treasure box rewards to earn. Whenever I have given my these kids an reward I can see their eyes light up and their smile grow from ear to ear. They are excited for special rewards because in this class we work hard to earn what we deserve. With the State Test approaching I would like to be able to provide my students with extra special rewards to keep them motivated.
