Every student in my class has a job. When they do that job for the day they get hole-punch on their card. If they get so many hole-punches, they get a prize. I told them it is kind of like having a job and getting paid. Their reward was a choice from some coupons. Here is the explanation of some of the coupons.
Use a pen: When they turn in this coupon, they may use a pen on ONE assignment in class.
Show and Tell: Students may bring one item and show off the item to their friends at the end of the day. They must show their friends and tell everyone about what it is. The item must be kept in their backpack until Show and Tell time.
Sit with a buddy: When turning in this coupon, the student may move their chair to sit near a friend for 1 hour.
Positive Note to Parents: When using this coupon, I will write a note to their parent telling them how good they are doing in school.
Wear a Hat: They get to wear a hat all day to school.
Bring a Stuffed Animal: Students may bring and carry around a stuffed animal all day to school.
Choose your job: Students may choose for the day a specific job they would like to do, for example line-leader, or Teacher's Helper.
Play Live Mathletics: During our computer time, students may play the live Mathletics game instead of their usual activities.
Have a wonderful Thursday night!
