Eyes on the Prize: Classroom Incentives

Help me give my students exciting prize box incentives to celebrate their hard work and achievements!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Harris's classroom raised $168

My Project

In my classroom, we celebrate hard work and positive behavior every day. One way I encourage my students is through our classroom points system. Students earn points for showing kindness, following directions, and doing their best work. At the end of the day, they can cash in their points at our class store, which features fun items like pencils, erasers, temporary tattoos, and exciting surprises from the prize box.

The prize box is more than just a fun reward—it’s a powerful tool that motivates my students to work hard, stay focused, and believe in themselves.

It helps them learn the value of setting goals and working to achieve them, which are lessons that go far beyond the classroom. When they proudly trade in their points for a prize, their smiles say it all—they feel accomplished and inspired to practice good behavior and keep earning points.

However, keeping the prize box stocked with exciting rewards is a challenge. That’s where your generosity can make a huge difference! By helping us refill our prize box, you’re giving my students the encouragement they need to stay motivated and succeed. Together, we can help these amazing second graders keep their “eyes on the prize” and make every day of learning even more rewarding!
