Profit With Incentives

Help me give my students the incentive they really want with food and drink rewards.

My Project

Our students need reinforcements in order to continue to do their best work. They benefit heavily from positive rewards.

I would like to set up a reward system in order to have the children work toward their goals.

Our students seem to be motivated the most by food and drinks. I believe using popcorn and hot chocolate as an incentive will have the most impact. However, we will need a Keurig in order to bring this idea to life. I also look forward to teaching students the steps in order to functionally meet their own needs by making their incentives.

I also am requesting shakers for my younger students who are incentivized through play and may not have the ability to eat popcorn.
