My Project
Motivation is a powerful tool. As we support students in developing their intrinsic motivation, external tools can help support and encourage students to bring their best efforts each day.
Our number one goal is to bring the FUN into our classroom community!
Stickers and mechanical pencils will help increase engagement by rewarding students as we engage in some healthy in-class competition, play games, and acknowledge outstanding progress & efforts. UNO will give us a fun brain-break and build community. Snacks are are always kept at the ready so kids can focus on learning, not a hungry stomach. And as we continue to lean into a digital learning experience - and all of the exciting platforms it has to offer - we need a reliable charging station to make sure our devices are ready for learning each morning.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
