My Project

My students are a joy to work with this year. They are extremely eager and ready to learn everyday. We have a great time learning all subjects from ELA, to Math, to Science, and then to Social Studies.

Gift cards will be used for student incentives if they are presenting positive PBIS behavior.

For example, when a student earns ten or more tickets for the month through our PBIS reward system they will earn a gift card. That gift card will be used for students to purchase an award that they earned through positive PBIS actions.

The copy paper will be used for supplemental work and resources to help support their learning. Also, the wipes is to help keep them clean throughout the day. Plus, pencils are needed everyday in class.
