Squishmallows for Reading Rewards

Help me give my students Squishmallow plush animals to use as an incentive for our reading progam.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Azevedo's classroom raised $380

My Project

I am requesting a variety of Squismallows for our class reading reward system. Last year I obtained a bunch of Sqishmallows-themed items to use as a reading reward. Little did I know motivating the plush animals would be for my students. I had a couple left over from last year and used them to reward students who reached certain reading benchmarks. My students were thrilled.

I have decided to challenge my students again in reading.

Students will need to reach certain goals, such as improving reading test scores, reading books in different genres and passing reading comprehension tests. The Squishmallows will be given to students who reach their goals.
