My Project

I love that my scholars come to school each day full of energy, curiosity, and determination. They work hard to reach their goals, and I want to celebrate those efforts in a way that makes learning even more rewarding.

The snow cone machine with flavored syrups and the cotton candy machine with supplies will help us create special moments that recognize their accomplishments.

These resources aren’t just about sweet treats; they are tools for motivation, community building, and joy. By having fun incentives to look forward to, my scholars will be reminded that their hard work and dedication matter.

This project will impact student learning by creating a positive classroom culture where effort and achievement are celebrated. When scholars know that their hard work can be recognized in fun and meaningful ways, they are more motivated to stay focused, participate actively, and reach their academic goals. The snow cone and cotton candy machines will serve as exciting incentives that encourage perseverance, teamwork, and responsibility, skills that directly support their success both inside and outside the classroom.
