Positivity Pockets

Help me give my students incentives. These items will be used to provide incentives for positive behavior. Students strive with incentive systems in place, especially since COVID-19 and learning self-regulation.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Horton-Hoffmeister's classroom raised $597

This project is fully funded

My Project

These items will be used to incentivize my students to try their very best. Students will be using a mock-economic system to earn items for classroom use. I anticipate these items to bring not only incentives but also joy into my classroom. Many of my students struggle with self-regulation after COVID-19. The consistent and high rewards will enable my students to develop self-regulation and the ability to enjoy intangible rewards. Our students are from diverse families from all around the world. They speak many languages and have many experiences to share. Thank you for supporting my students' SEL journey.
