My Project

Students love positive feedback and a positive kiss to their brain for putting in the effort. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will be used to print off activities for the students to work on decoding skills and math skills. A jar full of Hershey's kisses is kept on the desk upfront to pass out to students when they put in their full effort for participating in class discussion- we say "Kiss your brain." The student takes a chocolate kiss for positive feedback.

Positive feedback with a kiss or a twist keeps everyone motivated to participate.

The Mike and Ikes will go into our dispenser machine as a choice for participation. The benefit of participating in class is to demonstrate information they have learned and to share with others. Students are full of information and if it takes a little extra something to encourage them to share then it is all worth it.
