Motivating Minds

Help me give my students cool incentives to keep them engaged and motivated.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mucciariello's classroom raised $270

My Project

My students need some incentives to help them stay motivated. The incentives, such as cute pencils, scented erasers and bookmarks and stress balls will help them to stay engaged in their work and doing their best. Incentives are used in our classroom as a reward when students do their best work and work towards goals they have set for themselves. The kids always love these little items that they can use when they are doing their work, such as reading or writing. The Hershey Kisses will be used to fill our Kiss Your Brain jar, where the kids can get a treat when they show their smarts!
