My Project

I have an incredible group of gifted students who travel by bus to participate in our school district's PLATO program.

My students are very busy, inquisitive, and eager to learn.

In our room we utilize a ticket incentive program, and we have an economic system in place in our classroom. Students begin the week with 5 tickets and can earn additional tickets for excellent behavior, random acts of kindness, hard work, etc. At the end of each week, students are given the choice of spending their tickets on a list of fun incentives or saving for a larger purchase. I would like to add additional incentives for my students to try to earn.

This economic system has truly helped give us a sense of community pride and has given us a deeper understanding of our economics unit.
