My Project

My students work hard and I love to provide them with tangible rewards to show them how proud I am of them. Each year, they have the opportunity to make it to math fact clubs as reading clubs. They also have the opportunity to compete in the grade level spelling bee.

For each of these activities, I like to reward the ones that make it to a club or win the spelling bee with a medal.

They get so excited when their name is announced and they get to wear it around all day (or even the days after!) I also like to reward the ones with good behaviors that follow our schoolside PAWSS expectations with a fun PAW bracelet. These items can get pricey so having these funded would be amazing!
