My Project
I love my students because they bring energy, curiosity, and determination into the classroom every day. Even when the work is challenging, they don’t give up and they cheer each other on to succeed. Their kindness, creativity, and sense of humor make our classroom a joyful place to learn.
I want to celebrate their hard work in a way that matches their spirit, and a slushy machine would give them a fun, one-of-a-kind incentive to look forward to each week.
My students deserve to feel proud of their efforts, and this project would be a cool way to recognize their accomplishments.
A slushy machine would provide a fun and exciting incentive for them to look forward to each Friday after a week of effort, teamwork, and learning.
Our school does not currently have this type of incentive, so having a slushy machine would make our class stand out and become the “cool class” that students are excited to be a part of. With your support, we can create a tradition that not only celebrates hard work, but also builds classroom community, inspires perseverance, and makes learning even more enjoyable.
As a teacher, it can be challenging to keep students’ attention day after day, and even more challenging to constantly come up with new ways to motivate them to keep going. A slushy machine provides a consistent and exciting reward that students can count on at the end of the week. Instead of always searching for new incentives, this special treat will give them a reliable source of motivation to stay focused, work hard, and push through difficult tasks with a positive attitude.
