My Project

This project is all about helping get my students to get through the end of the school year successfully. There are oodles of incentives from treats to small toys they can see and earn by completing their work and displaying successful learning behaviors.

My wonderful students with special needs often need a little extra incentive to do the things that are difficult for them.

The car, keychains, stuffies, treats and coloring supplies and other toys will give them something to earn each day or week.

My students range from grades K-2 and all have some type of special needs. They work to make social, emotional and academic gains ach and every day. Having a variety of awesome incentives to give them will give tangible rewards for their hard work.
