My Project

Our school has been focusing on math and science growth this year in third grade. We have a new program that the kids are extremely excited about and have been working on. The program focuses on each student's needs and challenges.

These prizes will help motivate my students to finish their individualized lessons and show growth by the end of the year.

The prizes chosen are specific to what my students are interested in right now. Students enjoy creating friendship bracelets and showing off their creativity. Other students are excited about LEGO and Pokemon cards. Each student is excited about the idea of these BIG prizes to help them finish each of their lessons.
