My Project

My students are needing storage boxes to replace the current ones in the classroom that have started falling apart. These new all black boxes will make the bookshelves look nice and tidy in the classroom.

Fruit snack, and Gushers are great rewards for students that are doing the right thing in class and need a little snack to keep on working.

These snacks are part of my behavior management system that they students get to pick from when they have earn enough behavior points to spin the prize wheel.

The cardboard sheets are to replace the sheets that were used this year in our science class for experiments and building projects. By having more on hand the students will be able to continue to create interesting project that go with out science lessons.
