Motivation Leads to Productivity!

Help me give my students multi-colored stools, snacks, and novelties for motivational purposes.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McCord's classroom raised $475

My Project

My students love to have a choice of where to complete their work in my classroom. By providing them with an option for seating with the colored stools they will have choices. These will go along well with the soft cushions that we already have.

As the school year is already past the hundredth day; I have to continue to keep my students motivated and working even harder until the end of the school year.

The items like motivational bracelets, silly faces, candy, and snacks will give them some extra incentive to continue working toward their academic goals.
