My teacher team created a point system where students earn points throughout the day that equal to a Grizzly Buck. Grizzly Bucks can be spent once a quarter. Students can also receive negative points, resulting in detention if they receive 5 or more. Now that we are at the end of the second quarter, and students know the expectations and rules, the number of negative checks have decreased to 4.
In my classroom, students can earn the VIP seat, where the student with the most points at the end of the day can earn the seat. They get to use special supplies and sit separately from everyone else. They also have their name written on the VIP board for every class to see. The students seem to really enjoy it. Asking at the end of the day, who has earned it for the next school day.
This is my professional portfolio that showcases the highlights from the classes I have taught. I am currently working at Bishop Flaget. This year I am teaching 6th and 7th grade ELA, 6th grade Religion, and Social Studies. I have taught prek, and 4th grade math in the past. I go by Ms. Cryder. All my lessons meet the state Common Core standards. "Who dares to teach must never cease to learn." - John Cotton Dana
