My Project

My students have been working very hard to make positive choices. Our school has a positive behavior plan and we say, Sunnyside Dragons Are on Fire! "F.I.R.E." stands for friendly, involved, responsible, and eager. At the end of the month we have a party to celebrate all of the students who have earned their "Dragon Dots".

Just at the kernels POP and rise up in the machine, my students will rise to the occasion and have inspiration to make positive choices, to attend the popcorn party.

This will be a valuable tool throughout the year for our school to use as incentive during movies, or other thematic, special days. The gift card will be used to purchase charts and tools for instruction and motivation.
