My Project

My students earn classroom tickets (money) to buy things from our school store. They earn tickets buy following classroom expectations and by being a good human. They can owe tickets by not following the classroom expectations.

We are in a Title I school so our students don't always come with snacks.

I have included some snacks that I can share with my students if they do not have one. Studies have shown that if students are hungry, they are not learning.

I also have flexible seating so they get to sit where they want during independent work time.
