My Project

My students are incredibly curious about the world, and are doing the hard work of adjusting to middle-school when they join me in 6th-grade.

This project is to buy prizes that support our classroom games and incentives, as well as to stock my classroom's "Paw Shop".

Our school does incentive money with "panther paws" and students like to be able to purchase items with their panther paw money. I have been purchasing all the prizes for my prize bin and my paw shop with my own funds, and these prizes would supplement and replenish the paw shop!
