I believe strongly in positive incentives and rewards for good behavior. 

I give table points or “happy faces” for good cooperative tables. 

I also use a marble jar to promote good classroom behavior.  Once the marble jar has been filled up, the entire class will earn a special surprise. 

Your child also has the opportunity to earn raffle tickets.  These tickets may be earned by neat class work, turning in homework on time, being a good helper, and/or obeying classroom and school rules. 

Every Friday I will have a drawing and pick two students tickets and they will have a chance to pick out a special surprise from the treasure box.
