We used red ones after reading Kate DiCamillo's Great Joy last winter ... red for caring ... and the students LOVED the challenge to pass it on when they saw an act of kindness or caring. It's SO hard for them to give them away ... but such a fun way to share Great Joy! <br /><br />I'm so glad you brought them back!<br /><br />BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926426214201766983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943861818254304964.post-14386893407279539722013-04-24T08:29:13.198-04:002013-04-24T08:29:13.198-04:00aw, I love the warm fuzzies!!!

I just can't seem to keep up since becoming departmentalized. This year I have 4 classes each day. Next year I "might" be self contained with 6th grade so it might be doable. :)<br /><br />For now I'll just motivate them with my smile....<br /><br />Shannon<br /><a href="http://www.irunreadteach.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">I Run Read Teach</a>Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149662695273911122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943861818254304964.post-87291962999764528102013-04-23T19:49:57.980-04:002013-04-23T19:49:57.980-04:00Great ideas everyone!

They can do 1 point, 2 point or 3 point homework each day. Then, on Thursday, they circle where they are on a rubric. I go over what I think their score should be (over 90% of the time they are right on), and they get to pick classroom jobs based on points earned. They love this! The harder you work, the better job you get.<br /><br />Also, I use a super improver's wall. Here is a picture of that: http://luria-learning.blogspot.com/2012/02/super-improvers-wall.html<br /><br />Sacha<br />www.luria-learning.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943861818254304964.post-30627259660135785402013-04-22T22:47:23.907-04:002013-04-22T22:47:23.907-04:00I have warm fuzzies in my class for a whole class ...I have warm fuzzies in my class for a whole class incentive.

As part of the lessons they have jobs and get paid. They also had to create a product that they will be on sale tomorrow. They have gotten so into the money that I have started handing out "tickets" if they break a rule. I asked them to create the "tickets." I paid the designers for their design. They really are into the whole earning and spending money. They are motivated and learning too!rebelshopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377957069216805979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943861818254304964.post-1947644819321616612013-04-22T20:45:14.546-04:002013-04-22T20:45:14.546-04:00You're so cute Elizabeth!
