Beth Lewis at About.com has come up with a great list of free rewards for students. Some of the suggestions may only be useful in certain grades, but overall they’re pretty adaptable. Some of the highlights include:
- Lunch with the teacher
- Special seating in the teacher’s chair
- A good phone call home
- Hand stamps
- Music during art activities
I’ve used iTunes to make classroom music more appealing. Students can earn song requests with good behavior, then I download one or two requests periodically for a class music time. It’s not totally free, but if you have generous parents, iTunes gift cards are a good addition to your Christmas wishlist.
