My Project

The prizes I’m requesting will serve as tangible motivators to encourage my students to set and achieve academic goals, especially as they work hard to improve their math skills. Many of my students face significant challenges in their learning, particularly in math, where most are performing below grade level. These rewards create excitement around reaching milestones, fostering a positive connection between effort and success. By celebrating their achievements with prizes, I aim to build their confidence, perseverance, and enthusiasm for learning.

My students are unique because they bring incredible determination and spirit to the classroom, even when faced with obstacles.

They are a diverse group of young learners with bright potential, each deserving recognition for their growth and progress. My goal is to create a supportive, motivating environment that helps close learning gaps and empowers my students to see themselves as capable and successful learners.
