Golden Tickets
In our class we can earn “Golden Tickets” for following the classroom expectations.
When we earn a Golden Ticket we put it into our cup. Each student has their own cup that they can fill all week.
Golden Tickets can be earned for good behavior or good choices. On the flip side, sometimes we have to take away Golden Tickets. But, I would rather GIVE Golden Tickets to a deserving student than take a Golden Ticket from one who needs to monitor their behavior. We try to focus on the positive behavior rather than dwelling on the negative. In order to set a good example for our friends who may need the extra reminder, we reward those deserving students in hopes that it will encourage others to make a positive choice independently.
At this point you are probably wondering, what are all these Golden Tickets for?
They are for FUN FRIDAY! Fun Friday usually happens on Fridays, if we have enough time. If not, we just roll over tickets to the next week and keep collecting until we have a block of time that we can do it!
The person with the most Golden Tickets gets to choose their Fun Friday center first. The students continue to pick their centers until each and every student has chosen their Fun Friday center. These centers are both fun and educational. They are based on our academic standards as well as age-appropriate goals for first grade students.
Some weeks will be better than others, so please make sure to praise your student for any and every Golden Ticket they earn. Please remember this is a POSITIVE behavior system and we want to focus on the positive more than the negative. Your student may have great behavior every week, but some weeks they earn more or less tickets than other weeks because based on our activities more or less tickets will be handed out. Please be mindful of this and also remember that every Golden Ticket is a symbol of something positive and that is what we should focus on. I am looking forward to a great year with your student!
