My Students

My students come in every day raring and ready to go! Our day always begins with several hugs and exciting news that they have to share with me.

The greatest gift in the world is to be surrounded by children who love you despite your flaws, can't wait to see you every day, and think you hung the moon!

The majority of my students come from high poverty homes, and many don't have Internet access at home. It is not uncommon for students to come to second grade on a first grade level. Because of this, it seems that we are playing catch up for most of the year. Luckily, I teach in a wonderful school where teachers are willing to share resources and do whatever it takes to help students achieve success. Although many of my students are facing various challenges including broken homes, being raised by grandparents, and living in poverty, they are very motivated learners.

My Project

Controlling a classroom full of 8 year olds, all while trying to ensure that learning is taking place is no easy feat. This year will be especially trying once we add social distancing to the mix! To make things a bit easier, I use a positive behavior system with tickets. Students are rewarded tickets for being responsible, following directions, being kind to their classmates, and making good decisions. The students can also lose tickets for making poor choices in the classroom. Throughout the week, students save their tickets in their school box. Every other Friday, I allow the students to shop at our classroom store. They can either choose to spend their hard earned tickets for the lesser priced items, or save them for the higher priced items. We will use the dry erase boards to add and subtract the amount of tickets spent in the store.

I love that there is a much bigger life lesson hidden inside this system-economics!

Some students have never had the opportunity to earn money and make the choice on what to spend it on. We all know that students are motivated by extrinsic rewards. Unfortunately, a teacher's pocketbook can only stretch so far! If my project is funded, it will help promote good behavior and citizenship in my classroom, all of which will benefit my students in the long run. Ring pops, pop rocks, candy, and gum are sure to be hot items in my class store! A class store seems so simple, but has so many wonderful benefits---behavior, citizenship, and economics!
