I will use these treasure box prizes to continue with my classroom incentives program. I never have to raise my voice at my students, because from day one, I hand out tickets for all things that I like: walking correctly in line, raising their hand, being on task, doing their homework, being a good listener, being a good classroom citizen and more will earn them tickets. Students cash in their tickets at the end of the week for treasure box prizes. The amount of tickets they have directly correlates with how hard they have worked that week. It is powerful for the students to see that their actions matter. Some students don't have tickets at the end of the week. Those students want to improve their actions the next week so that they are able to get the cool treasure box prizes that their peers are getting. Many of these students come from homes where their families can't always afford to buy them toys, so these prizes are all the more special to them. Without incentives, it is hard to motivate the students to do their best. These treasure box prizes will really help me to continue reinforcing positive behavior while correcting less desirable behavior.
