Incentives for Positive Behavior!

Help me give my students snacks, art supplies, and fidget tools to buy at our Class Store! Our students work incredibly hard to earn "Class Cash" and we would like to provide them with desirable items to purchase.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

With this project, we will be able to set up a classroom economy system in which students earn "Class Cash" by completing classroom job duties, outstanding attendance which is a huge issue at our school, demonstrating growth on diagnostic assessments, and other demonstrated behaviors worth rewarding.

This project will allow my students the opportunity to learn about financial literacy through a classroom economy, as well as increase daily attendance, classwork completion, and encourage appropriate behaviors.

Students will be able to choose from the variety of prizes listed within this project such as stress balls, chips, crackers, fruit snacks, art supplies, and candy. Instead of focusing on the negative behaviors I am choosing to highlight the positive behaviors in which students are praised and awarded for following the directions and being model students.

Students are in charge of running the class store. During store transactions, students are the individuals counting class cash and determining the correct amount of change. Providing popular items will encourage students to use their money. My class store helps provide daily life lessons and skills for each student. Snacks, fidgets, and art supplies will be displayed for students to dispense snacks that they earn and purchase at our class store.

Thank you for your support, time, and consideration.
