Classroom Management

Not sure about anyone else out there, but nothing seems to get my class motivated like Skittles. I'm not sure what it is about the little bits of chewy goodness but it can do wonders for a kid's motivation. Now I know we don't always want to reward kids with something sugary, but sometimes you just need something to chew. A student can earn one Skittle at the end of small reading groups when they are working extra hard. It's just something small to reward them for a job well done.

 

 

I've done this in years past, but this school year I wanted to make the idea something special. Hence the name...Power Pellets. The kids need to know that working hard in class is something for which to be proud.
