In my last blog I explained how I use tickets as a reward system.

 Here is a list of ways students can earn tickets:

• Any time I catch them doing something good
• Staying on green on the Color Change Chart (see my blog on color changes)
• Winning educational game competitions (for example, if I break the kids into groups and we’re playing a game that helps them practice their spelling words, the winning group gets 1 ticket.)

There are some times that I take tickets away from students for various reasons.  

Here are some examples of how students can lose tickets:

• Leaving class to use the restroom or get something they left outside
• Getting a color change
• Forgetting to put their name on their paper
