My Project

My students spend three hours a day in my class reading, writing, and learning about ancient civilizations. Help me recognize their work with popular incentives like achievement stickers, book marks, stress balls, and birthday pencils.

Rewarding their accomplishments will motivate them to do their best every day!

This project will encourage them to give their very best effort and will also recognize them for their concentration. We use stickers on their best assignments. I hope to celebrate birthdays with birthday pencils. I encourage each student to apply everything they learn in reading and writing to reflect their true abilities. I hope this project will contribute to their academic growth, confidence, and lead to continued success.
