Motivation for Independence for Special Needs Students

Help me give my students the motivation to help them work through the rest of the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tiena's classroom raised $393

My Project

We are more than halfway through the school year. My students have been doing great with completing their task. They have been working hard to become more independent.

I would like headphones my students will use when they are working with online learning activities.

To keep them motivated for the rest of the school year, I would like to reward them with snacks and prizes. Our class has a token system for the students to collect point to exchange for their snack or prizes.

My students work best with the help of manipulatives and visuals lessons. The items chosen will also help keep my students motivated and will also be used to create more independent and hands-on tasks.
