My Project

Our students work hard every day, but not just in the classroom! Our K2 kiddos receive an opportunity to go into the treasure box if they complete their homework at the end of the week. We want to give our children the chance to pick between fidgets for socio-emotional learning and emotional regulation, educational stickers, and small toy prizes (They've definitely gotten their fair share of Halloween candy for the holiday, so we are trying to steer away from the sweets). We want to reward them with prizes they can keep and remember, fidget with, or prizes that they can use at home to help them focus while completing homework. Some of these prizes include fidgets for use to help focus and hone in on concentration during academic tasks, such as pop-its. We also requested some small containers of Play-Doh, as they can use it to build their numbers and alphabetical letters. We requested stickers, as a form of positive reinforcement for good work. I appreciate anything and everything you can contribute to our latest project. THANK YOU!
