Students learn a series of chants where the teacher calls out a line, and the students respond with the next line. This is a quick way to get the class' attention.

After passing back papers each Friday, students choose their work they are most proud of. This work is placed on the Good Work Board in the room to be displayed throughout the week.

Good work is rewarded with being able to plot your number on the Plot-It array. Every two weeks, a point is drawn, and that person can choose from a variety of prizes.

Every day, I secretly select a student to be the Quiet Seat. At the end of the day, if the student has been well-behaved and hard-working, I reveal the Quiet Seat and reward him or her with a small treat. If, on the other hand, the Quiet Seat did not follow the classroom rules during the day, a treat is not earned and his or her identity is kept a secret.

Giving a student a "Way to Go" can really brighten the mood and atomsphere of the room.
