Week 8: Rewarding Good Behavior

This week's class was about showing our students how much we appreciate them, but also about helping them to appreciate themselves.  When we use reward systems, it's important to first be sure that we actually need a reward system.  If you don't need it, don't do it!  However, if your students need a little "push" to help motivate them in class, rewarding the behaviors you want to see could help.

We discussed some different types of rewards in class and then made our own reward systems out of things that we had lying around the center room.  I was very impressed with the ideas that all of you came up with!  I'll be interested to see the creative things some people share in their scrapbooks.
