As the Behavioral Intervention Specialist in a Title-1 school district. where 100% of our student population is on free lunch. My students face many challenges both in and out of the classroom. I'm trying to find positive ways to encourage our students to become excited about learning, about their future, and help them become more successful in daily life not just while in school.
The children who walk into my room are smart, creative and full of life.
when they are with me I encourage them to see all the positive qualities they possess. I may not be able to control what happens when they are not in my care, but while they are with me I want them to know they are loved and cared for.
My Project
These items that I have picked would really help my students stay focused when they know they have something to work towards. I have added items such as candy and chips because a lot of my children are motivated by such items. I have also added a couple of Amazon Fire tablets because a few of my students like more of that alone time and working on tablets for 30 minutes is motivation for them to stay in class and do their work.
By helping and donating to our project it will show the students that people really care about them, not just academically, but have a genuine love and concern about their success.
With your donations, my students won't have to wait until I am able to provide for their rewards since I don't have a budget to buy the items that we are needing. I have been using my own personal money to provide what I can for my students to show them that I am proud of their hard work.
