Prizes For Good Choices

My students need prizes to supplement our prize box when good choices are made.

My Students

I teach in a Title I school where students come from various backgrounds. Many come from homes that have limited resources and English is limited or not present at all. Many students attend after-school until the end of the day, as their parents work very late.

I teach an inclusion fourth-grade class where some students have special needs, some are English Language Learners, and some are General Education students.

We all have a common goal of access, perseverance, and tolerance of and for all.

My Project

My school is implementing a positive behavior system, call PBIS. In my class, I do this through an online system, called ClassDojo where students can earn points for making good choices.

I believe that good choices are contagious.

If students see a student earning a point, the goal is for students to intrinsically start to want to mimic that behavior as the same positive attention is gained as a result. Students are eager to earn points to not only get to go to the prize box but to feel good about themselves. I hope that this system will create more and more students making good choices and creating a positive environment for students in our classroom and future members of society. Students who make good choices will be given the opportunity to choose tangible prizes from this project, such as squishy toys, fidget spinners, putty, fun pens, light up toys, sports balls, slime, and other tangible items that students show that they like (as from a poll taken earlier in the school year). Donations to this project will allow for students to get to pick out a fun prize for their positive choices, along with reward time to play with Magnatiles, when a certain amount of points are earned. Thank you for reading and donating towards this system.
