My Project

My students are so eager to receive their learning from the carpet each day. With so many students, we often run out of room and studets have to sit on the floor! It would be beneficial to have additional seating for students who have shown excellence throughout the day to choose if they would like to use a special seat for the day.

You might notice that there are many goodies in my cart this time!

My students have been such excellent scholars this year that I would love to have small trinkets to reward them for displaying academic excellence, being a kind friend and/or showing excellent behavior. Although I would love all of my students to be motivated intrinsically, but often times a little prize from the treasure chest can give that shy student the push he or she needs to partipate and further his or her learning!
