My Project

Snacks are great incentives for students. Snacks are great to motivate students to stay excited about learning throughout the day. They want to feel like they have accomplished something, so they work a little hard knowing that there is something sweet or salty waiting for them upon completion.

Please help me to provide snacks as incentives for my students as they endeavor to improve their scores and maintain their academic success.

I will use the snacks for improvements in grades and attendance incentives. Students will feel like their efforts have not gone by unnoticed.
