My Project

Who doesn't love to earn incentives? I know my students do! I have the privilege of teaching each one of our classes various social-emotional skills every week so that they are prepared to be better students and citizens. When my students are seen using their SEL skills throughout our school day or in the community, they can earn positive student referrals and have the opportunity to visit our prize box.

The prize cart was a huge success last year and this year but is running low.

The bracelets, pens, toys, fidget toys, and other various prizes will be added to the ones that we already have to motivate my students to continue to show their school family and community that they know how to be the best citizens there are. Our PBIS and whole child team have rewarded this to many deserving students for persevering through this year and reaching their goals. I want to continue this.
