My Project

Our classroom is going WILD this year—in the best way possible! With your help, we’ll turn our learning space into an exciting, safari-themed environment where students are celebrated for their hard work, growth, and perseverance.

This project focuses on providing incentives and positive reinforcement for students who demonstrate strong effort, kind behavior, academic improvement, and a growth mindset.

We want to build a classroom culture where kids feel seen, motivated, and excited to learn. We need items for our treasure box.

Many of our students face challenges outside of school and need positive reinforcement and encouragement to stay engaged. This project will help us create a fun, supportive environment where students know their efforts matter. With a jungle-themed incentive system in place, students will go wild for reading, math, kindness, and collaboration!

When we celebrate effort and growth—not just grades—we build lifelong learners who believe in themselves. Thank you for helping us create a classroom where every child feels like a king or queen of the learning jungle!
