Positive Reinforcements for My Students

Help me give my students positive reinforcements for the positive choices they make in class!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finocchiaro's classroom raised $195

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach first grade students at a Title I school in Florida, where one hundred percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and use their best behavior. They want to be in school because they want to learn!

Providing students the opportunity to be rewarded for their positive choices makes an immense difference in the learning of a child.

Please help me reward them with small treasure box items. I have mini notepads and pens, small bracelets, and mini cars to name a few! These items will also help decrease any misbehavior that could potentially happen in class and disrupt learning.
