Making Sweet Choices

Help me give my students sweet treats as incentives for good behavior, working hard, or just for when they need a little "pick me up" on rough days!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Withrow's classroom raised $162

My Project

I'm not ashamed to say, its definitely going to take some time to get back into the swing of things after the holiday break. My kiddos are always so sweet and work so hard, but there are times when they need some extra motivation during the long days back in the classroom. These sweet treats will allow me to offer extra motivation! I love to be able to walk around the room and drop a sweet treat on the corner of a desk for those who are staying focused and are using their time wisely.

These sweets will offer some motivation, something other than a better grade, and will provide for yummy "pick me up" treats when its simply being a just a rough day!

The candies will also serve as treats for class celebrations such as reaching our reading goals, winning fact fluency games, and showing kindness to one another.
