Motivating Minds: A Prize Chest for Student Success
Help me give my students a prize chest to motivate effort, participation, and positive behavior. This will foster engagement and responsibility, encouraging my bright and diverse students to thrive through recognition and encouragement.

My Project
The prize chest will serve as a powerful motivator to encourage positive behavior, academic effort, and participation in the classroom. By providing small but meaningful rewards, students will feel recognized for their hard work and perseverance. This will help reinforce a growth mindset, where they understand that effort leads to achievement. The incentive system will also contribute to a more positive and engaging learning environment, promoting responsibility, teamwork, and a love for learning. The goal of this project is to create a classroom culture that fosters motivation, engagement, and personal responsibility. By implementing a reward system, I hope to encourage students to stay on task, demonstrate kindness, and put forth their best effort in their academic work. This project will help students build positive habits that will not only benefit them in the classroom but also in their future education and personal lives. My students are bright, curious, intelligent, kind, and so much more. Many of them come from diverse backgrounds and face unique challenges, yet they show up every day eager to learn and grow. They thrive on encouragement and recognition, and they light up when they see their hard work paying off.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
