The students work hard knowing they are going to get a delicious snack while they work or test. Many of them do not care for school breakfast or lunch so these snacks keep them satisfied until they go home. Many of my students have never eaten trail mix and they are so excited when that is the snack that is passed out. They cannot get enough of them!\r\nAdditionally, and incentive prize box is a big hit. Aside from doing great work, I like to have a Friday prize box celebration for students who come to school each 5 days. Attendance is a big deal for all students, but even moreso for those with special needs.

They use them during whole group tests to aide in both focus and preventing wandering glances.
