My Project

Students perform well with clear expectations and positive reinforcement. Classroom incentives are powerful tools teachers can use to maintain high expectations and reward expected behavior.

Incentives for students motivate them to be more productive because they create a feeling of pride and achievement.

Being successful makes you happy. Every success story helps students become more self-confident. They are proud and also encouraged to achieve another successful result.

Birthdays are important because they give everyone a day to feel special and see how much those around them love them. Birthdays are a special day for kids, and celebrating them in the classroom has become a tradition for many teachers. They're fun, and exciting and can help boost the energy of the class for the entire day. Being the focus of a celebration can help boost a child's self-esteem and help them form strong friendships in the classroom.
