Our school uses the PBIS behavior model. Students earn points in class and throughout campus for setting a positive example for others and following the classroom and schoolwide expectations. In turn, they use these points to "purchase" items and experiences from the classroom store. Having this grant funded will allow me to purchase the necessary desirable items that students love. The goal is for students to be motivated and want to set a good example for others and exhibit positive behaviors.
The students will earn points throughout the week for exhibiting positive behaviors and showing responsibility. Some examples include helping a classmate, being a good listener, following directions, being focused and working hard, being prepared with the proper materials, having good manners, completing their classroom job, and completing their homework. Each Friday students have an opportunity to "shop" in the classroom store.
Having a classroom store is highly motivational for students. Students that work hard and set a good example for others are rewarded. Students also enjoy the experience of being able to "shop' in the store. It allows them to choose items and experiences that are of interest to them. The store has a variety of items such as fidget spinners, school supplies, bouncy balls, small compact STEM activities, stuffed animals, stickers, a vast variety of experiences such as sitting at the teacher's desk for the day and eating lunch in the classroom with the teacher and a friend.
