We Worked Hard, Now Time For Our Reward

Help me give my students prizes to "purchase" from our weekly treasure box with our gold-coin reward system.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nelson's classroom raised $275

This project is fully funded

My Project

As we begin the school year, I am introducing a treasure box reward system to my students. During the week, students will earn gold coins for participation, trying their best, and following directions during the day. For example, students can earn gold coins for participating in our reading lessons, taking their time on our math exit tickets, following directions the first time they are given, and interacting with peers appropriately. On Fridays, students who have earned the needed gold coins can trade them in to select one item from the treasure box.

My students have been working hard to be able to go to the treasure box, and they need exciting new rewards to choose from.

With your donation, I will be able to keep our treasure box fully stocked with a variety of fidget toys and fun items for the entire school year! My students will enjoy trading their gold coins to get a reward from the treasure box. It will encourage them to improve social interactions and work hard to earn their coins every day.
