Our school actually has a great policy that works so well for all ages! You can still implement in just your classroom. We give out "gator tags" (our school's mascot) for doing good things (bringing back signed papers,| inviting a classmate to join them in a game, etc...). The kids collect them and when they have 10 they turn them in for a "gator certificate". After 25 of those, they get to pick a book from the principal (or in your case you could use your Scholastic points and get inexpensive ones to keep aside). You'd be surprised at how well that works. I also do a seperate one for behavior. | |
If a child goes all day without getting his/her name in the red book (for a discipline problem) then they get a ticket at the end of the day. They put their student number on it. It goes into a bucket and I pull 2 tickets each day. They get to pick from my goody basket (it has erasers, candy, pencils, superballs, fans, yo-yos, etc...). If their ticket didn't get pulled, it still stays in there all week so they may get pulled on another day that week. It only takes 5 minutes at the end of the day. I throw the tickets away on Friday and we start fresh on Monday. They never let me forget it!
