My Project

We are in the homestretch of our second grade year! I would like to keep the momentum going by refreshing our treasure box with fun prizes. We use a school-wide point system for behavior and when the students reach 10 points they can choose a prize from our treasure box. I would like to add more items because we are getting low. That’s why I am requesting the mini skateboards and squishies.

Snacks are also an option to choose, but sometimes we all need a break and a snack.

It keeps us going throughout our day.

The scratch and sniff stickers are used for incentives when grading their papers. They love smelling the stickers and it helps to motivate them to try their very best.

We will be using the straws and popsicle sticks for engaging STEM projects.
