My Project

My students are hardworking, energetic, and motivated learners who thrive when their effort is recognized and celebrated. They come to school each day eager to earn Wolf Coins—our classroom’s positive behavior and incentive system—which encourages responsibility, teamwork, and perseverance.

This project will help supply our classroom store, where students can use the Wolf Coins they earn to purchase small rewards like NeeDoh stress toys and yummy treats.

These items are more than just fun prizes—they serve as powerful motivators. Students work toward goals such as staying on task, completing assignments, helping peers, and showing respect, knowing their positive choices will be rewarded.

NeeDoh items also double as calming tools, helping students self‑regulate, refocus, and manage stress during challenging moments. The snacks help meet a basic need for students who may come to school hungry, allowing them to concentrate better and feel supported.
