My Project

My class is full of awesome and brilliant personalities, including students who have behavior, academic, and/or home challenges. These could prevent us from learning, but these students come to learn each day, no matter the chaos that may be happening at home or within themselves. That being said, sometimes we need extra motivation, especially when it comes to these big state tests!

This project provides tangible, and fun prizes for those who show the most growth on their tests!

The prizes include a memory cube, a digital camera, a stunt car, craft kits, a robot kit, wristbands, a microphone, fidget toys, football gear, and kid's watches! They may want to just rush through those last few answers, but seeing these new toys and game prizes in the room may just give them the push to keep going!
