Keep Your Eye On the Prize

Help me give my students an exciting treasure box for monthly positive reinforcement.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lako's classroom raised $412

My Project

Classroom management is so important, because it allows students to maintain motivation and focus throughout the day and helps our class run smoothly. Please help me give my students treasure box prizes to encourage positive behavior and help with motivation throughout the week. When my students make good choices they earn a fuzzy! They put their fuzzy in a large bear shaped container. They feed Bubba Bear and when he is all filled up, they get to visit the treasure box! Some of the treasure box prizes I requested include fidget toys, squishies, cubes, cars, poppers, and other really cool items to keep my students excited and motivated! Thank you so much for your consideration!
