My Project

We as adults love looking forward to small every day things that make us happy; coffee, our favorite desserts, our cheat meal for the week and so much more. When it comes to kids in the classroom, they are mini versions of us! Having things like snacks, prizes, and more not only help keep them motivated but also on task. Being able to offer small rewards as well as snacks in my classroom help build a positive attitude towards hard work and helps instill good habits to achieve their goals.

By donating to my project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement as well as their happiness.

We all love being told that we are doing a great job either at home, in our own extra curricular activities, or at work. Help me give my students that same encouragement and positivity all year long!
