We Did It!

Our whole group behavior goal last month was to fill a jar with brownie mix. When the students were able to work quietly, listen carefully, transition smoothly, receive compliments from others, etc. we added a scoop to the jar. This was very motivating and served as a successful form of positive reinforcement for expected behaviors! It works as an alternative to individual behavior incentives, as we worked together as a whole group to accomplish our goal. We finally filled the jar, and the students enjoyed delicious, gooey, chocolatey brownies (from a different box mix of course) and a movie.



Quiet Critters!

The day has finally arrived! We have earned all our Quiet Critters! This has been a goal of ours since the beginning of the year. Students earned a Critter for quiet classroom and hallway behavior. Sometimes if we were REALLY super quiet we earned two! However, Quiet Critters were also removed if our class was not quiet. This has been an amazing classroom management strategy and students were very motivated by it. After our jar was filled, we brainstormed together to come up with a list of "handsome rewards" that we could choose from as an incentive for earning all our Critters. Students voted to have my dog, Luca, come into the classroom for a visit. Keep up the great work Quiet Kiddos!
