My Project

My fourth grade students are awesome and resilient! Despite the academic and social challenges they've experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic, they continue to persevere.

"Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude."-Zig Ziglar.

Our school has a fantastic PBIS program that rewards students for good attendance and positive behavior. The students look forward to those rewards, so I wanted to incorporate that in my classroom as well.

The prizes and snacks that I am requesting would benefit all of the fourth grade students (6 classes) on campus. The students associate with each other on a daily basis, so being able to reward all of them for positive behavior would be amazing.
