Grade Go-Getter Cards and Social Studies Star Prizes

Help me give my students who moved up a grade letter a positive end of year note and all my students a prize to end the year.

My Project

Students who work hard deserve a reward and deserved to be seen. Beyond the traditional prize baskets and stickers, sometimes nothing works better than good, old fashioned snail mail. These fun postcards will be addressed and sent to the students family mailing address to announce the good news to the whole family. The fun colors will allow me to personalize the cards even more, using a color that the student enjoys to make it extra special. Thank you for helping me reward the students who have worked so hard to bring their grade up! I have also included some items to restock my prize bin at the end of the year, so each student can pick one out when they get their Social Studies Star Award! My overall goal for my students is that they recognize their own achievements. This will foster self-confidence and an expectation of good things, not bad, which my students desperately need. Thank you for helping me shape this kids positively with pride and encouragement!
