One of the most exciting things about starting my placement at Brentwood North Elementary School is creating fun and exciting ways to engage students and reward good behavior and creativity! As someone who grew up in the early 2000’s I always looked forward to a good challenge from my teachers. The challenge I am posing to my students this month is a race! Students are assigned a car card with their class’s name on it, they will “race” against other classes for a game day! On game day, students can try their hand at winning prizes in this adorable mini claw machine I picked up. It’s a very silly but effective way of incentivizing good behavior among my students.
