I teach in the sunny state of Florida and I have 22 amazing fourth graders that come to school and try their best every single day. My students come from various backgrounds, but regardless of their home situations, they work extremely hard when they arrive at school. Each one of my students are creative and inventive in everything they do. My goal this year is to provide them with everything they need to help them succeed in school and to succeed in life.
My Project
My students work really hard every day, make good choices and come to school ready to learn. When any student in the school makes good choices, they are awarded a hawk buck. They can earn a hawk bucks for being respectful responsible, safe and prepared and on time. There is no limit to how many they can earn. Students save up their hawk bucks and are able to purchase items in the classroom and around my school using them.
I would love to be able to provide my students with items they can purchase with their hawk bucks.
My students are very motivated for Smencils. They love getting to choose their scent, and get very excited when they give me their hawk bucks and walk away with a new Smencil. It also gives them another writing tool to use through out the day!
I don't have any Smencils left, and I would love to continue to provide my students with the pencils they are asking for in exchange for their hawk bucks. It is a great motivation for them to keep doing what they are doing and more!
