Incentives for Growing Minds: Rewarding Learning & Kindness in Kindergarten

Help me give my students fun snacks and treasure box rewards to celebrate their academic progress, positive behavior, and social-emotional growth in the classroom

My Project

Each year I teach a vibrant group of kindergarteners at a Title I school where many of my students face daily challenges outside of the classroom. Despite this, they come to school eager to learn, grow, and be part of a positive, caring classroom community.

To support their efforts and build positive habits, I’m seeking help to fund a variety of incentives—small but meaningful rewards like stickers, classroom treasure box items, and snacks—to celebrate academic effort, good behavior, and acts of kindness.

These rewards help reinforce positive choices and motivate students to stay engaged in their learning journey.

With your support, I can create a classroom environment where hard work and good character are recognized and celebrated. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to making a big impact in the lives of my students.

Thank you for believing in the power of encouragement and the potential of every child!
