Youpi for French!

Help me give my students a prize box which includes small rewards like stickers, erasers, and berets for students who excel in class activities, show consistent effort, or demonstrate outstanding behavior.

My Project

As the French teacher for kindergarten through 8th grade at MLA, I am passionate about creating an engaging and supportive environment where students are motivated to participate and demonstrate their learning. To further encourage active participation and celebrate student achievements, I am seeking funding to establish a French classroom prize box.

The prize box will serve as a motivational tool, providing small rewards for students who excel in class activities, show consistent effort, or demonstrate outstanding behavior.

These incentives will help foster a positive learning atmosphere, increase engagement, and reinforce students’ enthusiasm for learning French.

Funding would cover the purchase of prizes, such as:

Small toys and trinkets (stickers, keychains, or puzzles)

Stationery items (notebooks, pens, or markers)

Cultural items that connect to French language and culture (mini Eiffel Towers, French-themed bookmarks, etc.)

Your support would directly contribute to students’ excitement for learning French and help nurture a love for language learning at a young age.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to enrich our students' classroom experience.
