My Project

I teach in a preschool classroom. These 4-5-year-olds need a lot of positive motivation to remember the rules and how to socialize nicely with their peers in the school.

My students often need visual prizes along with verbal praise to know they are doing the right thing.

Please help me give them more opportunities with better prizes to show they are on the right track.

These students are so used to hearing the negative talk about what they are doing wrong. I would like to change that and show them all the wonderful things they are doing correctly.
