Incentives to Earn!

Help me give my students incentives for their hard work! Students earn "Dillon Dollars" for making good grades, being helpful, and many other things. These items will be "auctioned off" at the end of quarter. They love this!

My Students

This is my 20th year teaching and this group of students that I teach are so amazing! They come from a wide variety of backgrounds. We are a Title 1 school and a very large portion of my students are on free and reduced lunch.

Seeing my awesome kiddos get excited about Science makes my heart happy!

These students come to us with so many distractions and things going on at home and school that I would like to offer better incentives and rewards for efforts!

My Project

I teach Physical Science. Some students just struggle with the subject but try so hard. I do not just give rewards to the students who make an "A". I want all students to know I see them and their efforts to improve.

Giving them an incentive and an attainable goal to work towards, makes our class climate a better place!

I want students to WANT to come to my class and not miss a day! I like to reward them for trying hard, being a peer mentor, helping others, and doing their personal best! Each child has their own personal best!

These items will be displayed so they know what they are working towards. There will be days they can "Cash in" Dillon Dollars (money with my face on them) or they can use them in the live auction we have at the end of the quarter. Learning is fun and I want my students to see that and grow!
