My Project

Rewards inside of the classroom can be a great way to boost students self-esteem, motive students, and encourage positive behavior all around! This gumball machine with rewards inside will help students earn prizes for completing their student focused goals in the classroom. It is important to help encourage students to create their own goals and show them a good feeling when they accomplish them.

Rewards and prizes help celebrate our students hard work inside of the classroom, which could be academics or social emotional learning!

These classroom rewards of stickers, pencil toppers, and small toys can be great incentives to help motivate our students. These rewards will help increase participation and encourage classmates. Showing our students a positive reinforcement of good behavior works great inside of the classroom!
