Snacks and Prizes to Promote Learning

Help me give my students snacks and rewards to earn from our classroom store

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Konieczny's classroom raised $186

My Students

I teach in the inner city of Detroit where most of my students are below the poverty line. My students live in hectic homes and school is the one place they can go for consistency sometimes. I want them to grow as much as they can and will always find a way to get them the materials they need to be successful. This goes beyond academic learning.

More importantly, I want to be able to reward them when they are doing amazing things.

My Project

I love to reward my students with prizes every week and they love earning them through our classroom store. I am always looking for new ways to help encourage participation as well as positive interactions in the classroom.

When students know there is something they can earn, they are often more willing to work harder for it.

My current students need a little more encouragement when it comes to behaviors since this is the first normal school year they have had and this year still isn't normal between masking up, testing for covid, and sometimes being pushed back into virtual learning.
