Painting for Perfect Attendance

Help me give my students an interactive learning experience where they can be rewarded for positive attendance. This includes a variety of painting supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Joosten's classroom raised $905

This project is fully funded

My Project

The painting supplies will be used to reward our students who exceeded our attendance goal to participate in an attendance paint party. Students will be able to use this project-based interactive activity to creatively create items that are important to them through the art of painting. Not only is this a way to reward positive attendance, but, it will also be therapeutic to paint their anxiety and stress away. This is ultimately a way to create health emotions.

We are creatively rewarding our students who have been attending school regularly with a positive incentive "Paint Party."
