My Project

I love my students for their curiosity, enthusiasm, and potential to grow into remarkable individuals. Each one brings a unique perspective and energy to the classroom, making our learning environment vibrant and dynamic. Providing candy and snacks during the instructional day can significantly enhance their attention span and overall focus, allowing them to engage more deeply with the material.

Using candy and snacks as positive reinforcement will help create a supportive and motivating atmosphere.

When students are rewarded for great classroom behavior and meeting hallway expectations, they are more likely to repeat those behaviors. This approach not only encourages positive actions but also builds a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence. As learners, my students will benefit from this consistent and tangible recognition, fostering a more productive and enjoyable learning experience.
