My Project

In our classroom community we work very hard at finding different ways to encourage our scholars to be the best scholars they can be. Typically during the middle of the school year, we see behaviors that tend to require a little motivation. One way we like to motivate scholars is by offering a variety of weekly incentives.

Within our classroom treasure chest we allow to students to choose from a variety of options.

From healthy snacks, to items such as the ones requested. Slime and soft squeeze keychains helps those that have sensory needs. Pencils and colorful pens help the students that are interested in art. Stress balls and toys greatly benefits our students who struggle with SEL.
