My Project

It is my joy to be the science teacher at my school! All classes, Kindergarten through fifth grade, visit the science room twice a week. I use positive reinforcement to encourage students to follow classroom expectations and spread kindness to their classmates.

I am requesting reward jars to show students the progress they are making towards receiving a reward for excellent classroom behavior and spreading kindness to others.

Each time a class visits the science room and follows all expectations during activities or shows kindness to classmates the class can earn stars in their jar. The jars will provide a visual and create excitement as students work towards a class reward. This helps to keep everyone working to their full potential and creates a sense of teamwork.

The baskets requested will be utilized to hold the stars and the magnetic numbers will be used to label each jar for a specific class. Your donation will put a smile on the faces of many young leaders as they reach for the stars!
