In the classroom, a positive culture is promoted through a points-based reward system using ClassDojo. Students are encouraged to answer questions and participate in class activities to earn points in their group. This not only motivates students to stay engaged but also helps develop essential skills such as teamwork, time management, collaboration, and critical thinking. Students are grouped into teams of five, and at the end of the activity, the group with the highest points earns a lollipop as a reward, while other groups receive stickers for their participation. This system reinforces positive behavior, builds a sense of friendly competition, and ensures that all students feel recognized for their efforts.

At my school, students can earn Marlin Pesos as a way to reward positive habits and achievements. Students receive 5 Marlin Pesos each week for coming to school every day, and an additional 5 Pesos for arriving on time. Academic success is also celebrated, with students earning 5-10 Marlin Pesos for making Honor Roll or Principal's Honor Roll. Marlin Pesos can be saved and exchanged for exciting rewards and special opportunities, such as field trips, encouraging students to build responsibility, consistency, and school pride.

In the classroom, scaffolding helps students practice challenging learning materials by providing them with clear expectations of what they are learning. Teachers not only explain the content but also model how it is expected to be done, giving students a concrete example to follow. In addition, students are offered helpful tips and strategies to find answers in different ways, which allows them to approach problems with more confidence. This growing confidence supports greater engagement and encourages students to take an active role in learning.

In the classroom, the teacher uses a point system through Class Dojo to track behavior and encourage positive actions. By focusing on positive reinforcement, students are motivated to complete their assignments and make good choices. At the end of the week, students who earn 10 or more Dojo points will receive a reward, such as stickers, small toys, or even a notebook with matching pencil. This system not only promotes individual responsibility, but also encourages students to motivate one another to do what is right.

Through teamwork and collaboration, the students successfully combined their research and creativity to showcase the rich culture and heritage of Cuba.
