My Project

Creating a positive and encouraging classroom environment is essential to student success. Students earn a chance to spin the prize wheel by participating in class, meeting expectations, and showing kindness by helping others. At the end of each class, we get a chance to spin the wheel where one lucky student receives a small reward like a fidget spinner, pencil, or pen. This system not only builds excitement but also reinforces good habits and a supportive classroom culture.

To keep this incentive program running throughout the school year, I’m seeking donations of fidget spinners, pencils, erasers, and pens.

These simple items go a long way in helping students feel seen and appreciated for their efforts. With your help, I can continue to motivate my students in a fun, meaningful way that celebrates positive behavior and academic engagement. Thank you for considering a contribution to our classroom!
