My Project

As an educator, I believe social-emotional learning is equally important as academics. I aim to design an inclusive learning community that encourages students to value their own identities as well as those of others. One way to achieve this is through the books we read as well as the incentives and motivators that encourage my students to be the best they can be.

The incentives on our rewards cart, like cuddly plushies, stuffed animals and Nerf balls, are thoughtfully selected to meet the needs and wants of my learners to encourage them to be the best they can be to and reward reading accomplishments.

My hope is for my students to have what they need to succeed in our fourth-grade classroom. One way to support all learners is by having rewards available for my students to celebrate successes and accomplishments in our learning community. Thank you for helping make reading rewarding for my fourth graders as they learn and grow as readers as well as be rewarded for reaching milestones along the way.
