Help me give my students rings and toys for prizes and novels to read.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Kaufman's classroom raised $198
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
We need to add to our class set of novels. The students will read Lord of the Flies and it helps to have extra copies in our class set.
Prizes help with student motivation and participation.
These mochi toys are so popular we run out every award time. The rings are also well appreciated by the students as they have a tactile kinesthetic elements to them. The rings give a physical sensation that is calming as well as decorative. These incentive and participation prizes add a lot of enthusiasm for class activities.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
