My Project

The products I have selected will give my students a chance to earn incentives for their behavior and shop from their classroom store. I love seeing my students work hard and being rewarded for their good behavior. By doing this, they will be earning play money for their positive behavior and saving it up to purchase items. Once they have saved up enough money, they will have the opportunity to shop for things they want.

The store will have a weekly store owner and cashier to assist them with their purchases.

Earning, saving and spending with this “Earn and Learn” project will also help students learn how to count and manage money, experience running and working as well as have good behavior.
