My Project

I work with high needs students. To help engage these students, they earn classroom money throughout the day in every class. Each week they have the opportunity to place an order from the classroom store. Students have to look up how much money they have earned, total how much they spend, and know how much money they have left before submitting the weekly order.

By rewarding students with tangible items (candy, pencils, pens, erasers) for their engagement, they are learning that they can be in control of their learning outcomes.

Students look forward to the trip to the "store" each week!
