Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Motivating and managing behavior in a classroom can be a challenging task for any teacher, especially with first graders. However, creating a reward station can be an effective way to promote positive behavior and motivate students to stay on task.

The purpose of the reward station is to provide a visual reminder of the positive behavior that is expected of students.

The materials needed for the reward station include a bulletin board or whiteboard, snacks, markers, and stickers or other small rewards.

The reward station will have a positive impact on student behavior. Students will become more motivated to participate in class and stay on task in order to earn rewards. The effectiveness of the reward station in maintaining positive behavior can be observed through changes in student behavior over time, such as fewer disruptions and more participation in class activities.

By creating a reward station in the classroom we can effectively motivate and manage behaviors in our first-grade classroom. By providing a clear and consistent system of rewards, I can promote positive behavior and create a more productive learning environment for my students.
