Motivating Scholars to Make Good Choices

Help me give my students rewards for making good choices at school daily!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Onyejekwe's classroom raised $2,018

My Project

This school year marks the second year that our school will be a part of the largest education reform witnessed in the 21st century. With all the new changes going on I want my scholars to know that our classroom remains a safe place to learn, explore, inquire and grow.

The treats that I have selected will remind my scholars to make good choices.

I am teaching them that when they make good choices there is always a reward, even if the reward is not given at that specific moment. But, because these are 2nd graders with short attention spans, I will be implementing a Good Choices store. Here scholars will be able to select a reward each day and at the end of each week for making good choices.
