My Project

Incentives are just a small token of recognition of student success. While my students love to learn naturally, they love the "treasure" in learning. Certificates go a long way. They become lasting memories of student accomplishments.

We treasure learning!

I will use these materials weekly to recognize the accomplishments of students socially and academically. With these materials ALL students are recognized. We love water bottle stickers. Each student in my class was given a water bottle at the beginning of the school year. By the end of the school year each student has a water bottle full of stickers that will be earned for a plethora of reasons. With your donation, our tradition will continue!

Ms. Cates Hyde - Addison Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
