My Project

The students that I work with are learning and growing every day. They love to earn rewards for demonstrating good behavior, showing growth on assessments, and class participation. My students love to get candy, Smencils, fidgets, and squishy toys.

Earning prizes in the classroom gives a student a sense of pride and joy.

It also motivates the other students to do the same. They work harder, grow more, and behave better. Succeeding as individuals will help the class succeed as a whole. I can't wait to see the wonderful results in my students when they receive these amazing prizes.
