My Project

These fidget toys, invisible ink pens, and spinners will help support students' social-emotional needs. I have chosen games, prizes, and fidget toys to help struggling students manage their emotions. These incentives will help students cope with feelings like anxiety or anger. Some of these toys will also be placed in the classroom treasure box or as prizes for my WOW! Board. In addition, students will get to choose prizes from the treasure box as rewards for their hard work and for following rules in the classroom and out in the yard. In addition, my students need paper for Brain Breaks. They love Art Hub for Kids. We like to draw when we finish our work, but our paper inventory is limited. We need paper to use as an incentive for positive beahvior.

Keeping our Positive Incentive box filled with paper and prizes can take a lot of work to maintain on a teacher's salary!

These tools will help me with classroom management and social-emotional learning. Please donate to my project because everyone can be a winner!
