Help Us Earn a Prize!

Help me give my students a treasure chest full of fun and exciting prizes!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Martinez's classroom raised $192

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Allowing students to earn a visit to our classroom treasure chest can make a difficult task a rewarding experience. Just like adults, children work best when there is some sort of reward attached

You can choose to give treasure box credit for a variety of things depending on your behavioral goals for your child.

Knowing that they are getting recognized and ¨paid¨ for their hard work.

Through funds donated, I am hoping to get a plastic treasure chest and fun sensory toys to fill it with such as slime, pop-its, and smelly pencils. When you are eight years old, these items are of great value!
