My Project

My students are fun and energetic. They love to recieve small tokens when they do the right thing from arriving on time, completing homework/classwork, as well as treating others with kindness. My students also like to be each other's keepers and tell me who deserves a reward.

During the last few weeks of school my students need an additional boost to pull through the last few days of testing and project completion.

I would love my students to begin to choose who is showing greatness in the class and gift them with a small token.
