Christmas Behavior Raffle

That time of year is upon us once again and it's the time of year to promote positivity.  In an effort to really push for positive behavior and rewarding it, our class is having a raffle.  For each day that a student is on blue or purple they will receive entries into the raffle.  Blue days receive one entry and purple receive two entries.  There will be no entries taken away for yellow or red days (it's better to be a bucket filler than a bucket dipper!).  There are two prizes available - one for a boy and one for a girl. 

The boys prize:

 

The girls prize:

 

Anyone who has at least one entry has a chance at winning one of these Christmas prizes!  It's really open to everyone in our class!  

Starting in January, we will be starting a positive behavior system that provides students with punch cards.  Each punch card is worth a point and students will be able to purchase items with these punches in our classroom store.  It's very exciting because the students basically gave me all of the ideas for the things that they could want!

Another exciting moment, and a true blessing of the holiday season, is the opportunity for the entire 2nd grade class to attend a field trip at Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn on December 12!  This is one of my very favorite places to go (I'm a history fan!).  I can only hope our students will enjoy it as much as I do.  There are amazing opportunities for learning in this remarkable museum.

Last but not least, our classroom hallway has become a little festive this holiday season!  Make sure to ask your 2nd grader about it.
