Sensory Prizes for Hard Working Students!

Help me give my students sensory prizes for working hard all year long!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sawyer's classroom raised $291

My Project

My students put forth extra effort each day and work so hard! They meet with me every day for 45 minutes. They read and write for every minute of our time together. There is nothing more they would want as a reward for their hard work than a fun sensory toy. As a mother and an educator, I would prefer NOT to give students candy and sugar for rewards. A healthy and fun alternative are these fun squishes and fidget toys, which will keep them motivated to come back each day and to work hard. Students love earning toys, stuffed animals, mini fidget soccer balls, treasure box, squishys and more! By providing these hard working students with some fun tools they can keep, will put a smile on their face as well as mine.
