Help me give my students mood pencils, water bottles and other supplies as rewards for hard work and good behavior through our positive behavior programs and Accelerated Reader program.
For many of our 4th and 5th grade students to be successful, it only takes a little bit of encouragement. In our small rural community, academic support often only comes from the faculty and staff of our school.
We work hard to make sure our student's work is recognized and rewarded!
My Project
The faculty and staff of my elementary school has had great success in promoting both reading and good behavior through our AR Store and Ram's Store.
On alternating Friday's we allow our students to visit either the Ram's Store or the AR Store to redeem Ram's Bucks (given to students who display positive behavior) or cash in their AR points (earned for number of books read and for passing comprehension tests on those books).
By doing this, we have seen negative behaviors decline and reading scores increase!
With just a little push and positive reinforcements, we are able to encourage our students to be successful in the classroom, both academically and socially. This project will take the burden off of our teachers to keep the store stocked with quality prizes and rewards.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
