My Project

The items that I have requested will be used as a way to incentivize our students as they push through the school year striving to do their best. These treats motivate student to work towards some of the small things that they want in life. I also reward the students for showing acts of kindness. Seeing the shelf stocked with snacks encourages the students to work towards having a great day so that they can be rewarded at the end of the day or week. It pushes them to complete schoolwork, be on their best behavior and come to school every day.
