Classroom Behavior Management
Now that our state tests are over, I can honestly say that my brain is in vacation mode! I can totally sympathize with the kids and their want to have fun (haha–dare I say that! Fun in school?!?! haha)
So to add a little excitement in my room–I’ve devised an addition to my behavior management plan because we all know that the last month of school is one of the hardest parts of the school year! It’s a raffle system, which is used to reward students for completing their all their homework. (It could also be used to reward great behavior–if you chose 🙂
I give students the raffle tickets and they fold them up and place them in our raffle jar (I call it a chance can!)
Since it’s the end of the year, I pull the raffle tickets a bit more frequently than if I were to do this during the year. (Next year, I want to use it on a monthly basis–one month’s worth of raffle tickets, pull the tickets at the end of the month, then discard all unused tickets and start over for the next month. Just a thought!)
The prize…homework passes! The kids love them and so do I!!
Here’s a little treat…

What a fantastic freebie. I used to use a system like this in my class and may just need to go back to this (since I have an awesome freebie) for the last few weeks.
What a great idea! Thanks for the freebie. 🙂

Hi Jen!
How do you create the owl raffle tickets so that there is no waste and can simply be cute with a paper cutter? I love your great ideas!
Thanks!
Hi! I use my printer settings and I click "fit to page"which narrows down the margins a bit more. I tried to make them use as little paper as possible. I hope that helps 🙂
