Case: What rewards do you use?
I'm looking to add some rewards to my reward box. I teach four different grades (5-8) and normally give 3 rewards per grade every two weeks. The most popular rewards are extra point on a test/quiz, one day extension for homework, and school supplies like pens, pencils, erasers. Does anyone use anything else that would be inexpensive to completely free?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In my classroom (middle grades), my students enjoy earning rewards. The two most popular rewards are music time and bathroom passes. Music time is a written pass that is given to the students. This pass can only be used in my classroom during independent work. If the student wishes, he/she may redeem the pass and they are allowed to listen to music on their device only for the period of time during the independent work. The students are only given 4 bathroom passes per semester in their agenda book. Once these passes are exhausted, they must 'earn' more. As a reward, I offer a bathroom pass that can be stapled to their agenda book.
While I understand these two options may not be feasible in an elementary classroom, the students could possibly work to earn 'free-time' or 'free-choice' during centers. Computer time is another solution that could work and allow the students to remain in the learning environment. |

Comments: these solutions are free and easy to apply, a lot of students enjoying doing their own thing during free time and music is a good reward that is not distracting to other students. |

Comments: Overall I don't think this is an effective solution. Students should have access to bathrooms whenever necessary, without having to worry about earning it. Additionally, I don't understand why students would have to earn music time during independent work. Throughout all of my courses my teachers allowed us students to listen to music and if anything it increased our productivity and decreased distracting conversations. |
