class management By Linda

In the past I have used penny jars. Each child has one....I would use small plastic ones with pre-k. Are they out of the stage of putting stuff in their mouths? If not this won't work....I gave them pennies when they were following rules. Then I had a "store" where they could buy things.

Another idea is to use a Marble jar. Whenever the whole class is following the rules, listening quietly, etc. You put marbles into a jar. When the jar is full have a "party". I usually give the kids a cookie and let them watch an educational video. They think it is great and try to help each other remember the rules.

I teach first grade - so these may be too much for pre-k. I hope it helps you some! Good luck!
