Kindness and Effort is Prized!

Help me give my students positive behavior incentive rewards to celebrate and encourage kindness, effort, teamwork, and achievement.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sousa's classroom raised $335

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

Promoting and celebrating kindness, effort, and achievement is prized. The incentive products that were selected will help students by giving them rewards for making good choices and celebrating kindness.

I have seen how a prize box can positively affect students work and demeanor while encouraging positive choices and kindness.

The earbuds are a great reward that will also help them with homework videos, state testing, and interactive technology activities throughout the year. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that do not have access to earbuds at home. The toys are a great way for students to show pride in their accomplishments while getting some wiggles out. The star stickers will be used for a star student of the week, where students will choose a positive and kind student each week to promote positivity and teamwork.
