Positive Differences Through Prizes

Help me give my students some rewarding incentives for their positive choices and hard work.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. LeProtto's classroom raised $178

This project is fully funded

My Project

These incentives will provide rewards for the students who demonstrate positive behaviors throughout the entire school day.

Prizes can potentially make a positive difference in student learning.

This project is for classroom incentives for my students. When using positive behavior support and appropriate classroom management, research has shown a decrease in problems which increases academic time.

The incentives will include Squishmallows, earrings, bracelets, fidgets, and more! Incentives will be awarded to the students weekly. These incentives are crucial because they serve as a reward and motivation for positive behavior for the students. The students get very excited about these incentives and are highly motivated to work for a prize.
