Brag TagsBrag tags are incentive tags that your child can earn for positive behavior and choices that he/she makes during the school day. The tags are placed on a necklace that is kept at school and brought home at the end of the school year. Brag tags are not meant to take home but can be looked at if you come into school to visit! We will also have them available when you come in for parent-teacher conferences.
Brag tags are earned when the teacher notices a choice or behavior that is done by a student that exceeds expectations. Brag tags can be earned for many things. Some of these may include: 100% on a test, Helping Others, Good Listening, etc. I strongly believe in positive reinforcement in my classroom and this is one method that we will use this year to encourage the positive choices and hard work. |
Un HomeworkThis alternative homework system is research-based as well as parent, student, teacher, & principal-approved. It will save you and your students time, frustration, and did I mention time? Studies have repeatedly shown a very weak correlation between homework and achievement in the primary grades.
To give a general overview of Un-Homework: Each week, students have a paper with 5 choices on it. For each choice they complete, students can fill out a Learning Lotto raffle ticket. Every Friday, raffle tickets are entered into a drawing. The winners get to roll a die for a prize. The odds of winning are upped when you complete more choices and submit more tickets. |
