Student Rewards: Buttons, Stickers, and Candy Oh My!
Help me give my students fun and meaningful rewards that support positive behavior, academic effort, and participation in our classroom and school clubs. Buttons and stickers are crowd pleasers for high schoolers!
I absolutely love teaching high school math and education courses to my 9th–12th grade students. Every day, I get to witness their growth—not just academically, but also in confidence, creativity, and character. My goal is to create a classroom where students feel motivated, encouraged, and empowered to keep striving, even when the content gets tough. I believe that positive reinforcement plays a huge role in building that kind of environment.
To support this, I’m working to build a stronger reward system that celebrates student effort and achievement.
Simple items like candy, stickers, and school supplies go a long way in brightening a student’s day and reminding them that their hard work is seen and appreciated. I want to make these incentives a regular part of our classroom culture, not just something I can do occasionally.
One item I’m especially excited about is a button maker. I’d love to use it to create personalized “flair” for students who demonstrate test excellence, consistency, positive attitudes, and overall dedication. These wearable rewards would allow students to proudly show off their achievements and help foster a sense of pride and community in our classroom. With your support, I can bring these motivational tools to life and continue building a learning space where every student feels encouraged to do their best.
