Students are rewarded using 2 systems, Tickets and Kaminski Dollars.

Red tickets are awarded and placed in a red jar when the class, as a whole, is given a compliment or when they are productive and follow directions for an extended period of time. As soon as they have been awarded 50 tickets, they will be given a classroom celebration. This may be a special snack, a "mini-party", a game of their choice…etc. Together they set a goal of earning 2 classroom celebrations over the next 9 months!!

Blue tickets are given out, individually, to those students who do something extra special. For example, helping someone who has dropped his or her books, being extra courteous to a peer or adult, caught working extra hard on free time…etc. I feel this is good incentive to be responsible and respectful young adults. When a student earns a blue ticket, they take one and put their number on the back and add it to the jar. On Friday afternoon I pull a ticket from the jar and that student is given the title of Student of the Week for the following week.
