My Project

My students are wonderful and aspire to do well, but with testing season approaching, we have a lot to accomplish in such a little time. Extra incentives for my students would be beneficial to inspire them to push harder and accomplish more in the little time we have. My kids work so hard for fidgets, snacks, and other trinkets that they can play with. These items would be used to celebrate their accomplishments and their efforts when they are given difficult tasks, lengthy assignments, and tests. They will also be able to choose a treat/toy for staying focused over an extensive period of time.

Overall, we would greatly appreciate any donations to our treasure box to help get my students to the finish line!
