Students earn points for meeting expectations, helping peers, and showing perseverance, then shop for snacks like crackers, cookies, beef sticks, candy, and mini treats. When they first saw the store, students were amazed and immediately began encouraging each other to make good choices. One student who struggled with behavior proudly saved points all week and told me it was the first time he felt successful at school. The store has increased motivation, improved hallway behavior, and built community. Next, students will help run the store, practice math skills by budgeting points, track goals, and reflect on how positive actions lead to real rewards and stronger habits.","fullyFundedDate":1768489203590,"projectUrl":"project/character-counts-rewards-that-motivate/9842023/","projectTitle":"Character Counts: Rewards That Motivate Positive Actions","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hillard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5261771_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759804254381","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hillard"},{"teacherId":5261771,"projectId":9796269,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our classroom!
