Positive Behavior Vending Machine

Help me give my students a fun and motivating behavior reward system using a vending ball machine.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Andersen's classroom raised $358

This project is fully funded

My Project

To encourage positive behavior, I would like to offer my students a fun and unique incentive! I am asking for help in purchasing a Toy Vending Machine filled with capsules containing a variety of rewards. In the pills, I can insert toys, fidgets, candy, and slips of paper with other reward coupons (such as the teacher's chair for the day, wearing a hat in class, or extra class recess).

I love seeing my students display positive behaviors, but I love rewarding them even more!

Rewarding my amazing 5th graders with a fun incentive will encourage them to stay positive and show others how to practice those behaviors.

Please help me encourage my kids to be positive, support them through their struggles, and reward their positive behaviors for creating a fun, learning classroom environment.
