My Project

Please help me to continue rewarding my students for their academics and positive behavior.

Everyone loves when they are rewarded by tangible or non tangible items!

My students loves tangible items. The pencils and sharpener is for classroom use. The others like the cookies, snacks, erasers, etc. Will be added to the incentives bin.

I have been rewarding them after each tests at the beginning of the school year and so far the results are getting better. I have seen my lower achievers making gains, trying thier best to learn to become better readers that will give them that boast towards the end of the school year and I just want to continue to support them in every way.

Please, help me with these items to add to the rewards section of this plan, as I continue to deliver the instruction that will help them to achieve their end of year goals.

Thank you!
