My Project

My students love to be rewarded and it also increases class participation. Rewarding students makes them eager to learn and promotes participation. With a positive classroom environment, students are motivated to make good choices in order to earn candy and rewards, which instantly increases instructional time.

Each student deserves a piece of candy for his or her good work or improvement.

Students will receive candy for improving their grades in the class or on a quiz/test. This will help hone in on math skills as we try to prepare our students for the real world! They will be rewarded also for improving attendance and participating in class. This is a tiny reward but it works. Students have their favorite candy which is, for example, smarties and nerds. All these sweet goodies help students to stay motivated!
