Fun Incentives to Motivate Students Throughout the Year

Help me give my students prizes throughout the year to motivate them by creating fun incentives!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O’Connor's classroom raised $230

My Project

Our class just got funded for a new rug for our classroom and we would like to keep it clean throughout the year. In order to do so, the vacuum would come in handy to clean up any messes on the rug and in other areas around the classroom.

Students work towards gaining Class Dojo points to earn class rewards and individual rewards such as student of the week and class parties.

When students reach their goal or “win”, they are able to choose prize of their liking. With these items, students will have a variety of choices to choose from that will reach multiple interests.
