My Project

In my classroom, I strive to create a positive learning environment where students feel motivated, valued, and excited to learn. One of the best ways to encourage positive behavior and celebrate success is through a reward system that students look forward to.

With your support, I hope to build a vibrant Reward Cart stocked with fun, meaningful incentives.

These will include small toys, school supplies, snacks, stickers, and other student favorites. The cart will roll out weekly or bi-weekly, giving students the opportunity to shop using classroom currency they earn for participation, kindness, hard work, and personal growth.

This system not only promotes positive behavior but also teaches students about goal-setting, delayed gratification, and responsibility. Your donation will help create a classroom culture full of encouragement, smiles, and success!
