Help me give my students snacks and incentives for doing a great job in class!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stoner's classroom raised $444

My Project

I teach an amazing group of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders with a range of disabilities from Autism, Specific Learning Disabilities, ADHD and Emotional Disturbance. These students have a wide range of backgrounds socially and economically.

I want my students to have the same learning opportunities as their typical peers.

My students want to learn, understand, and be a part of activities, just like everyone else! My students require a multitude of learning strategies and materials in order to reach their true potential. This involves many different ways of teaching, tools for engagement and incentives.

Often times students come to school hungry or won't eat the school lunch so I'd like to be able to provide them with something to eat when needed! No one wants to work when their stomach is growling! My students also love sweets! I use it as a reward and incentive when they get their work done and earn points for their goals.
