My Project

The Praise and Encouragement project will provide weekly prizes for attendance and proper behavior. The student will spin the spinner for their prize. It could be chips, snack, candy, pen, pencil, fidget, squishy, bubbles... The games will be additions for game celebrations.

This last school year, Donors Choose helped me use this classroom management.

It was a big hit. Students knew Fridays were prize days and were excited about what they could receive. I would like to continue it, for behavior and attendance. It does get exspensive. After I used the donations, I paid for the rest of the year of prizes. It was about $100 a month.

Children can learn if they are at school and demonstrate proper behavior.

Thank you for letting me keep this project going with my students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
