Our class also earns TRIBE points! We keep track of points accumulated on Incentive Charts. TRIBES earn points when they are following any of the above expectations together as a TRIBE. When their incentive chart is filled, they will earn something from our Treasure Box!
This is our E107 Community Jar! It is for collective effort shown as a class. We earn stars when we earn all teal cups for awesome CHAMPS behavior in the cafe during lunch. Also, we can earn extra stars for other whole class behavior celebrations. When we fill it up to the top, we get "lunch bunch" in our classroom! This means we get to eat in our classroom, watch Magic School Bus, and talk story with our friends.
Our "Desk Fairy" helps us keep our desks organized. She rewards students with a treat if their desks are nice and neat. This usually happens weekly or bi-weekly.
