My Project

This gumball machine and fun mini toys will help motivate students to be engaged in their work all week! Each week they will work to spin and earn going to the gumball machine. They will do this by making wise choices, completing their work, and staying engaged. This will directly impact their learning and motivate them to master the skills I'm teaching in class. My goal is to give them even more motivation to stay engaged and work hard! My kids this year have such unique interests and love anything that is fun!
