This project will assist in keeping my students focused and engaged in learning. Many students come to class hungry. This is a huge distraction and it prevents them from being fully engaged in learning. Snacks are also a great source of motivation. Whether it may be chips, crackers, or starbursts, students jump at the idea of being able to earn something when they truly do put in work to increase their creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. Students deserve to be rewarded and having snacks are the perfect incentive to keep them going. The past year has been interesting and stressful. Students need motivation and engagement to continue learning. I will be able to not only incentivize but also provide support where it may be needed. Incentives can impact a student's emotional needs and can positively impact their academic performance. The incentives will be used throughout this school year.
