Keeping Our Eyez on the Prize!

Help me give my students incentives for our classroom prize box! When there are items in the prize box that the students are excited for, it makes them work harder to earn talon tokens to buy prizes!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help restock a fun prize box for my students. By keeping it filled, I'll be able to give students prizes for their outstanding work and behavior. The students love the kneadable erasers and little animal pencils. I selected rewards my students are most interested in and have asked me to put them in our prize box. The students can visit our classroom store every week if they have worked on their behavior and academic goals. The students are excited to see what will be in our prize box when replenishing it! They have requested some of the specific items that are listed and are eager to see them in our classroom store.

The kneadable erasers, stress, balls, and other prizes/incentives are amongst tthe students favorite prizes and will help keep the students focused on their goals and positive behaviors throughout the week.
