My Project

Coming back from winter break is so hard! With the help of some new treats and incentives, my students will find their motivation as they come back. We have so much vital work to do before the close of 4th grade and this will give us the necessary push to reach our goals. While incentives are always fun and will help us reach our long term testing goals, I plan to give my students a short-term incentive around Valentine's Day so that they have something in sight and close to work for. With your help, my babies can be excited that they are back and they can come in ready to hit the ground running.
