I use an economy system in my class, so my students earn tickets. Every Friday, they are able to purchase prizes. They were so excited when they saw the prizes from this project! They were the top pick. A student who hasn't been motivated by the prizes so far LOVED the pencil toppers and bought multiple. Another student who rarely shops chose to buy one of the plushies. Other students were excited to buy the Rubik's Cubes. \r\n\r\nWe have also been using the dodgeballs to play Silent Ball. The students love it! They ask to play all the time. It's been a great game to play quietly in the classroom when it rains and we can't go outside for PE. Coming up, I'm going to continue adding the prizes from this project into our class store. The variety of options is going to keep the kids motivated! Now, they especially love earning tickets for being responsible, helping in the classroom, and engaging in their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you so much!
