My Project

I love to use incentives and rewards in my classroom! It reinforces the idea of earning something that is of value and it really does work wonders in creating a classroom environment that fosters respect and kindness.

To make positive changes, students need a clear idea of what positive behavior is and to be positively reinforced when they demonstrate that behavior.

I do this by giving “High Fives”. Students trace their hands on paper, write their names, cut them out, and place them on a bulletin board. When I give a high five, the student walks to the board and places a sticker on one finger of their cut-out. Five stickers equal a prize from our prize box. When the hand is completed (25 stickers), the student gets two prizes and flips the hand over to start over. I explain that high fives are random and given to whomever I catch doing the right thing, such as acting kind, helping others, staying on task, showing attention, and other positive behaviors. I do not give high fives for academics, and students cannot ask for one.

There are many ways that I give positive reinforcement, including praise, private conversations, and activities or privileges. However, the high-five method has consistently been a favorite.

Of course, all of those prizes are costly. I would love some financial help to continue to offer amazing incentives and help my students realize that doing the right thing pays off!!
