My Project

At the end of every art class I teach, it never fails-several kids will ask, "Do we have time for the Treasure Box?"

The Treasure Box is my go-to to keep students on their toes, have good behavior and stay on task.

Being kind, helping another student and being respectful to everyone gets you into the Box. I will be teaching all grade levels next year and the Treasure Box works for fifth graders, too. I am requesting small toys, sensory fidgets and individually-wrapped candy to refill our Treasure Box.

Please help me keep my students successful and happy. Thank-you!

Ms. Watkins
Grades PreK-2
