First Year Teaching Tales : Positive Behavior Reinforcement

Another Pinterest inspired creation of mine will be used as a positive behavior reinforcement system. If a student is "caught" doing something good, like recycling or holding the door open for a classmate, then I will tell them to write their name on a fish and throw it in the "Caught ya being good" jar. Once a month I will draw a name for a prize. Obviously, the more times the student is being good, the more times their name will be in the bowl, and they will have a better chance of getting drawn for the prize! The entire creation was bought at Lakeshore (craft bowl, stickers, sea creatures, and fish) and cost a grand total of $10. I need to laminate the fish, so the students can write their names with dry erase markers and they can be reused!
