My Project
My students are very hard workers. This project consists of incentives and rewards that I believe they truly deserve. Giving students incentives can lead to positive behavior, good grades, and good self-esteem, helping students with diverse abilities, and more.
Help me give my students something to look forward to when they do well, both academically and behaviorally in class.
The shaved ice machine, popcorn machine, and supplies are going to be used to do just that. I am already implementing student incentives in my classroom but have been spending my own money on it. These items will allow me to provide my students with rewards I have not been able to give before. This will keep them motivated and also let them know that we appreciate their hard work and that hard work really does pay.
