My Project

I want to make my ESL classroom an even more fun and exciting place to learn! When you work hard and do your best, it feels good to be recognized. This project is all about celebrating my students’ awesome effort, kindness, and learning progress! Students can earn rewards by working hard in class, showing integrity, demonstrating determination to improve, helping others, and completing extra challenges.

I want to show my students how much I appreciate their hard work and dedication.

Coming to school every day and trying your best can be challenging. When students feel good about their learning, they learn even more! Rewards can help us celebrate their successes together! These rewards will help my students stay motivated, build friendships, and feel proud of their hard work.

Mrs. Nelson Southaven Intermediate School Grades 3-5
