My Students

My students are extra special to me because I have had the opportunity to get to know and work with many of their older siblings or relatives. Many of my students deal with issues and stress in their home lives that young children should be exempt from, yet they continue to persevere and show up with mostly positive attitudes every day!

I am committed to making their time at school with me fun, positive, and effective.

My way of doing this is to provide exciting and engaging lessons where students are eager and excited to participate, as well as ensure that they feel loved, supported, and cared for.

My Project

The items requested in this project will be used as incentives and rewards for my students when they reach their reading goals!

My students will work extra hard for these stretchy balls, fidget tools, and lenticular bookmarks!

I have been able to provide several of these incentives to my students for prizes and they love having the chance to earn these items! I decided to use these items to reward them for their reading goals now, as well, in hopes that it will encourage more students to work harder at this!

I would love to be able to provide nice rewards for my students to keep them extra excited and engaged in their learning!
