It's Saturday....let's get each other motivated! What are you motivated to try next year or what motivates your students? It can be ANYTHING that motivates you or your students!
I made this "Super" Prize Board last summer {inspired by Pinterest} and it's used as an incentive, visual reminder, and decoration all in one!
Students sign the prize board when I see them setting an excellent example, getting right to work when we enter the room, sharing, helping others, etc. They never know when I'm going to call the numbers...sometimes I call them everyday even if there's empty spaces, sometimes I wait til the entire board is filled, sometimes on Fridays. (If I call numbers when spaces are empty, I let them know I will call 3 numbers (any number I choose), if there's no name on the space, no one wins). I have miscellaneous prizes and junk :O) in a tub for them to choose from if they are called.
*Best story: You know the sample pictures you get from the school pictures? After school I had a few kids helping me and I asked one of my boys to put it in the prize box as a joke. I didn't know, but he hid it under all the other stuff so no one would take it. I called his name a few days later and he ran to retrieve his "prize". He said it's on his refrigerator at home! LOL!
I used a 1/2 sheet of poster board and laminated. My students use dry erase markers to write their names. I have my Super Prize Board hanging on my erase board with magnets in the front of my room so it's a great reminder for me to use it too!
