My Project

The resources I’ve requested will create a fun, engaging, and well-managed classroom environment that motivates students to take ownership of their learning and behavior. These materials will support a classroom rewards system, which encourages responsibility, positive behavior, and academic effort by allowing students to earn incentives through participation, preparedness, and personal growth. The ultimate goal is to build a learning environment where students are supported, parents feel hopeful and connected, and the classroom becomes a place of growth, joy, and success. I want the students to have a year to remember.
