School Supplies With a Twist

Help me give my students the basic materials of school while adding positive incentives such as candy, goldfish, and supplies for review games.

Ms. Dorsey Madison Middle School
Marshall, NC Grades 6-8

My Project

My students will develop essential academic and organizational skills by using school supplies such as pencils, lined paper, colored paper, and a large magnetic coordinate graphing poster during daily instruction. These materials provide the tools necessary for completing assignments, practicing new concepts, and participating in hands-on activities. To encourage positive behavior, active participation, and consistent effort, students will also be motivated through a positive reinforcement system that includes small rewards such as individually wrapped candy and hands-on review activities using bunch o' balloons and Easter eggs. These incentives help create an engaging learning environment, reinforce appropriate classroom behaviors, and promote student confidence and success while supporting instructional goals.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
