My Project

Through our amazing PBIS system we have punch cards that kids fill by getting "caught" making great choices! At the end of the year, punch cards are tallied and those kiddos that reach a goal of being one of the top punch card fillers then they can earn a very special reward that we offer which is a Build-a-Bear gift card that they can then use to pick a special furry friend that act as their Reading Buddy all summer long! We need a few more of these special gift cards to complete our incentive goal! These gift cards are HUGE motivators for our students to strive to make the best choices and earn one of these gift cards. I am also hoping to get some UNO cards and a STEM challenge kit for each of my kids and their families to offer them a family fun night! All of these tie in to improving my young students Social and Emotional learning as well tying in that home school connection!

These Build-a-Bear gift cards are such a HUGE hit each year and the kids work hard to possibly earn one and what a special night for each family to get a new game and a STEM challenge kit to do as a family!

I am super excited to offer these wonderful opportunities for my kiddos to make learning fun and engaging not only at school, but at home as well! :)
