High Interest Prizes for Our Classroom Prize Box and Store

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rivera's classroom raised $302

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

The funnest part of our classroom is our classroom incentive system! The students absolutely love "shopping" in our classroom store and winning a turn at the prize box using their classroom "dollars" and/or trying their luck at spinning the wheel for a chance to win access to the prize box. We are well over one hundred days of school and my store and prize box are looking mighty lean. I need your help in replenishing with highly desired items that'll make my students want to earn as many opportunities to gain access to these prizes.

The students I serve, unfortunately, suffer through so much uncertainty that the bit of joy I can bring through immediate extrinsic prizes is a must have in my classroom to bring fun and joy, at least for a moment, to their little lives.

These cute erasable gel pens, pencil toppers, and squishy top pens will be a great addition to my classroom incentive system. Thank you in advance for helping me bring a bit of joy to my students.
