Behavior "Incentive" Plan

Beginning Monday, March 30th, 2009 we will be implementing an additional behavior system. The behavior cards will still be used but, we will also begin using "money". The colored behavior cards will continue to focus on the serious issues while the money will focus on minor infractions. Every Monday, your child will begin the week with 10 cents. Throughout the week, students will have the opportunity to earn more money or they may lose money, depending on their behavior.
At the end of each week, the children will count the money they have earned. Depending on the amount, they may have the opportunity to redeem their money for a small prize. Throughout the week, we will emphasize the ways to earn and lose money. This is a great way to give students extra reinforcement on their money skills while giving them something to work for each week.
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions and again..... thanks for your help & support at home.

The incentive plan has worked well & we plan to continue it another week or so. At the end, I will blog more about the program.
