My Project

I am a Special Education teacher in a Third Grade Integrated Co-Teach Class where there are Special Education students learning alongside General Education students. Our school consists of culturally and linguistically diverse students within a low socioeconomic community.

Students need constant reinforcement to encourage learning and to foster a positive attitude.

They work hard and are eager to learn.

September is right around the corner and I need to start planning NOW to be ready to start off the with with a bang!

I use a PBIS reward system where students get points for participation, cooperation, good behavior and effort. This is all the more important because half of my students will be special education students. Students accumulate points throughout the week and Friday is Reward Day. For every ten points a student gets during the week, he/she is able to pick a prize from the Treasure box!

Knowing that they could earn prizes such as slime, slinkys, yoyos, flying plops, squishy toys, punching balloons and fidget poppers are the best incentive to get students to want to succeed.

Please help me to create this reward box with prizes that the students will love to get!

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
