Looking for a way to encourage good behavior? In my class I also use a class marble jar. Students get to earn marbles for such things as eating healthy at lunch, napping at nap time, tieing their own shoe or someone elses shoe, reading school work directions correctly with out teacher help, get compliments for walking/standing in line quietly in the hall, etc. Often marbles focus on encouraging students to perform behaviors that are undesireable, require self control, or are extremely challenging. Once the marble jar is filled we have a "marble party". On our marble parties, we do all kinds of learning activities, such as review white board football (a loud favorite activity), practice writing letters in foam, get to play a video during work time, get to do a messy science activity, etc. Marble parties are my students favorite activities.
