Storage for Student Incentives

Help me give my students a place to store their A.R. prizes and display their reading goals for the week.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patterson's classroom raised $303

My Project

I have 17 students in my classroom who work hard and love to read. Our district participates in A.R. This program is great and motivates students to become better readers. However, to reach all kids, I give out extra incentives. Having a small fridge in my classroom could help me store their A.R. prizes. Prizes consist of drinks and food items.

I have kids who show up needing to store their lunch from home and/or drinks from breakfast.

This is something I could do for them. We have a large fridge at the teacher workroom but it is always stocked and has little space. It is also too far away for students to walk down and grab their items.

Lastly, the table-top easel will be used in our new reading series to display our goals for the week. This would allow students to revisit skills throughout the week.

I am always looking for new ways to allow my classroom to be more comfortable and enjoyable for my students. By having these two items, it will be more convenient and allow students to access them better.
