Positive Reinforcement and Independent Thinking in the Classroom
Help me give my students a warm and comforting learning environment to support their mental health
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Winters's classroom raised $239

My Project
My goal this year is to support independent thinking and learning in the classroom. Using poker chips to count points that each class accumulates for asking questions in the classroom will inspire a competitive spirit amongst classes and encourage students to rely on their own tools and each other as a resource, building their confidence and independence. Helpful posters will also increase their reliance on class materials instead of the teacher. The decorative items I have selected will contribute to a warm and welcoming classroom environment that students are excited to learn in.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
