My Project

Elementary Schoolers LOVE prizes. I recently had my students complete a survey asking what type of positive reinforcements they prefer to receive, and "Tickets for Prizes" was #2. (Number 1 if you're interested was "Positive Phone Call Home"). I give students tickets for good behavior, staying on task, being a risk taker, reading aloud, ANYTHING!

This project will fund many prizes that will excite students and help with their social and emotional learning!

Some of the prizes in this project include: squishy toys, mini stuffed animals, fidget toys, and relaxing hourglasses. Also, we plan on having a "Slime" party. The fidget toys tools I will also use to help students with IEPs or 504 plans.
