Points and Rewards

Today I'm in a fifth grade classroom where the teacher has a idea for keeping track of points to reward her class. On the whiteboard, next to the class schedule there is a popsicle stick on a magnet for point tracking that also says what is happening at each time of the day. Classes like math have 2 popsicle sticks (for the lesson and indepent work time) for greater acountablitity for students and more possible points. Win-win! 

The Secedule With Posible Points

 

If students are on task, the popsicle stick gets moved up into the point bank. I like this because it gives the kids are very clear idea of when they are earning points.
