My Project
My students are amazing and little pieces of my heart. Due to their environment and other factors, it can be a challenge to keep them engaged. Nothing seems to motivate them more than an incentive and competition. I realized adding snack incentives kept students engaged which indirectly led to an improvement in grades.
By donating to this project, my students be encouraged to participate more and celebrate their small wins.
The items I have selected are their favorite snacks. Please help me reward these students. Thank you for your support!
