  Case: Classroom Rewards - Candy or Not?
I usually give candy (Dum Dums) for small rewards in my classroom. With so much emphasis on healthy eating lately, what other small rewards could I give my students for following classroom routines?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are so many things you can do with your students. You could create a rewards system where students receive some sort of ticket of some sort that they can collect throughout the week. Students who have over a certain amount of tickets can go to the "treasure box" on Friday. The treasure box can be full of healthy snacks, neat school supplies, and small toys that the students can choose from.

Another thing that you could do is give students healthier options like gold fish, raisins, or pretzels. If you do that, I suggest that you find out if any students in the class have allergies. You can give the students a small handful of food for the reward.
