Stuck on Positive

My students need reward incentives like scratch n' sniff stickers, pencils, and reward raffle tickets.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Zeglin's classroom raised $230

My Students

"Wow, I got a smelly sticker!" I used to hear this all the time when I first started teaching. Now, I just cannot afford to buy all the stickers, erasers, and pencils that I used to. I miss that because sometimes this was the only thing that would inspire a struggling student to try!

My students are a varied group of regular education, special education, and gifted students.

Some students love to read and write while others dread the thought. I do require a lot of difficult writing in my class through formal pieces to more causal journal entries. I always used to put smelly stickers in students' journals. They loved it and some students looked forward to writing for this reason. Now, I cannot afford to supply all these rewards myself.

My Project

I know putting a sticker or a friendly note in a students journal is a small thing. However, it means a great deal to some of the these 7th grade students. At this age level, they really don't get much positive reinforcement anymore. Yet, the truth is that these kids are still kids! They love the little things in life. Please bring a smile to a student's face and help with this project.

These positive rewards will inspire students to do their best.

For a struggling learner, writing is very hard. Many students want to give up or just scribble down a few lines. With your donation, I can help motivate students to do the best they possibly can.
