Learning Motivators!

Help me give my students items to help motivate their learning in kindergarten!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Casey's classroom raised $681

My Project

I have chosen items that will help motivate my student's learning! I have various items for our treasure box. My students love working for the chance to choose something from our treasure box. Their faces light up when they've earned it! I've also added some photography backdrops as well as the holder. We take pictures of them in front of the backdrop when they've learned all their letters and sounds, if they can count to 100, or they've learned 50+ sight words.

When my students see their accomplishments being celebrated they are motivated to work even harder!

I want their first year in school to be a place where they know that all their successes are important!

Ms. Casey Lorna J Kesterson Elementary School Grades PreK-2
