Here’s the Ticket to Establishing Good Habits.
Here’s the Ticket to Establishing Good Habits.
Idea by Allyson, 2nd Grade Teacher, North Port, Florida:
At the beginning of each day, I give my students the opportunity to earn three Really Good Stuff "Incentive Tickets." I issue one ticket for coming to class on time, one ticket for handing in homework, and one ticket for producing a signed reading log.
If my students want to leave the classroom during the day to get a drink, they must "pay" me one ticket. At the end of the day, students write their own names on all their remaining tickets and return them to me. I place the tickets into a container and draw one out; that lucky student receives a cool pencil or other small prize. This activity has improved time on task and homework completion. Plus, it’s just fun.
