The Things You Need but Forget at Home.

Help me give my students personal hygiene supplies they can buy at my classroom store. They will use "S" dollars earned for following, rules, completing work, attendance, etc.

My Project

I have a positive incentive system for my classroom designed around students earning "S" dollars. Students can earn "S" dollars each day for being on task, completing assignments, for good attendance, etc. They can earn two, one, or zero "S" dollars each day. This amount is discussed with individual students as an opportunity to have them reflect on how they performed that day.

I want to provide some nonfood based items that my students are always asking other students or teachers for during the day.

These items are individual sizes so students can carry them. These items are used and desired by the students which makes them perfect items for my classroom store.
