My Project

This is my 5th graders first year at Middle School. They have stepped up and are working hard to learn and to hold themselves to high standards of effort and behavior.

I want to give them the opportunity to earn some really special rewards for their strong efforts!

Getting the chance to work toward and choose their own rewards is an effective motivator for working hard to achieve and to treat each other with kindness and respect! I want my students to look back at this year and realize that it is all worth the effort.

Mrs. Jacobsen
Grades 3-5
