My Project

I love that my scholars come from varying backgrounds! As one could imagine varying backgrounds also include varying interest! March is quickly coming around the corner and I'd like to provide my scholars with basketball themed items to celebrate March madness!

I'd also like to give many of my male scholars and opportunity to feel seen.

This project includes many incentives that I'm certain many of my male scholars will enjoy having an opportunity to earn!

In addition, their motivation will be fueled with these incentives! I've found that when my scholars have incentives in place, they are shown to be more engaged in their work. My scholars always love incentives in the classroom and show up with their best efforts to earn them.

This project will allow them to achieve incentives while taking pride in their work and accomplishments.
