I do like the "lose"...Thanks for replying! I do like the "lose" a ticket phrase a lot, and it's true. They need to learn that all actions have a consequence, whether good or bad. I pinned this yesterday and have had SO many repins on it already. Great post.

We had our first "Friday Fun-Day" and it really hit home with the kids who didn't earn a lot of tickets or kids who lost a lot of tickets. They seemed to really "get-it!"<br /><br />LoriABCs and IEPshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530624168306204138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829345820635979729.post-78568622321349881392013-03-15T16:12:20.620-04:002013-03-15T16:12:20.620-04:00I read the original post after seeing it in the TP...I read the original post after seeing it in the TPT forum. Then I read your post and I am even more positive about wanting gold tickets in my classroom. <br /><br />I love the idea of having them decide what gets a ticket taken away. We did that for what gets your clip moved down in the beginning of the year. It always hits home when I say "I think you know what to do. We decided in the beginning of the year behavior like that was not acceptable in this classroom." They go move their clip down without me even asking! <br /><br />Thanks for posting!<br /><br />Carrie<br /><i><b><a href="http://buzzintokinder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">BuzzIntoKinder</a></b></i>Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271523019711338043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829345820635979729.post-46904061356591868972013-03-15T07:27:29.416-04:002013-03-15T07:27:29.416-04:00Hey Melissa, I will actually be posting a picture...Hey Melissa, I will actually be posting a picture of "the list," but it's important to remember the KIDS made it up, not me. They were pretty tough about it. I like to say they "lose" a ticket instead of "I take a ticket away" because it reinforces that THEY are the ones in control of the outcome. I do this when they are breaking a school rule, hitting, calling out, getting out of their seat, etc. One of my kiddies actually said "destroying Ms. Hill's things" haha!

Is. AWESOME! Wow. Thank you for the amazing ...That. Is. AWESOME! Wow. Thank you for the amazing idea! I love that it doesn't include a "treasure box prize" too. This is my first year at this school and my co-teacher uses the treasure box (and since we switch classes 1/2 way through the day) I, unfortunately, have a treasure box. I'm all about the positive reinforcement and this is brilliant! I noticed that you mentioned a list of why a ticket might be taken away....so you do take them away for negative behavior? I'm always wishy-washy about that. I don't know if it should strictly be a positive thing and it never gets taken away...or if it should! (Sorry, I'm writing you a novel!) <br />I think this is wonderful. Definitely want to do it! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! <br /><br />Melissa<br /> <a href="http://junglelearners.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Jungle Learners</a>Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076240387696636845noreply@blogger.com
