The materials and resources from this project will be used by low income preschool students in our multi age (3-5 years old) classroom. Each day we offer these prizes and incentives for our behavior modification system. When students follow our classroom rules (Listening ears, quiet mouth, helping hands, walking feet and big voice), they receive a star on their Star Chart. Each student must earn a star per day to pick a prize on Friday.\r\nAlso, students earn a spot on our coveted \"Classroom Star Wall\" and get to participate in our \"Fun Friday\" activities. (using play dough, completing a special art activity, playing bingo games, etc.)\r\nOur next steps include completing a new Donor Choose project for more special materials to use in our classroom to start the new school year off strong.

Sometimes our students need a morning rest so Cozy becomes a place to recharge. \r\n\r\nAcademics and socializing can be tricky at times and my students use Cozy to reset before returning to the group. When a classmate is upset, their peers will often tell them to go to cozy or join them there for support. \r\n\r\nMy students have even pretended that Cozy is a car. They will all pile in and pick a destination. \r\n\r\nThe willow trees have added a warming ambience to our classroom. We turn them on during morning work, yoga and at rest.
