Our treasure box was started last year, and this project helped us refill and keep it going strong. It has truly become a core part of our classroom routine. Students earn money for their effort, behavior, and participation, and they use it to shop for items. Having new supplies to restock the store kept their excitement and motivation going. We love being able to price things at over $100 because these kids love to compete on who has the most money or save their money for weeks on end!\r\n\r\nOne moment that stood out was watching a student who had been saving their money for weeks finally have enough to buy the minecraft lego set they had been wanting. They carefully counted everything and were so proud of themselves for sticking with their goal. It's moments like that that show this is about more than just rewards—it's about responsibility and pride.\r\n\r\nEven though students were already familiar with the system, they were so excited to see the store restocked. It brought a fresh energy to the classroom and reminded them of what they're working toward. They immediately started setting goals again and encouraging each other.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we'll continue using our class store to support positive behavior and build real-life skills like saving, decision-making, and responsibility.
