My Project

It is almost the middle of the year and students are becoming bored of the things within our class store. I am hoping to revamp our store in order to promote positive behaviors of learning. Our three goals as a school are to be kind, be safe, and be responsible. Throughout the day, when I see students doing these things, I give them a "Wildcat Buck". At the end of the week, they can shop in our store with the bucks they have learned. Some of the new prizes in this project would include pop-its, fidget spinners, and squishies... all of these things would also double as fidgets that could help them focus in class. Thank you for considering my project!
