My Project

My students truly enjoy coming to school every single day. Creating a welcoming and exciting classroom environment is my top priority.

Motivating students is one of the most important things to do in a classroom.

These prizes(fidgets, stickers, etc.) will be in our classroom prize box.

Students can pick from the prize box for a variety of reasons. These include random attendance incentives, winning a classroom game, or exhibiting positive behavior in class. Sometimes that extra motivating factor can push students; especially students that are a little more challenging to get motivated.
