Working Hard Pays Off (Literally!)

Help me give my students big ticket items like croc bracelet charms and a video game controller as prizes specially curated by my kiddos to increase desired behaviors and build financial literacy.

My Project

At the beginning of each school year, I explain to my students that just like I get paid to do my job every day, they will also get "paid" to do their "jobs." Similarly, if I did not perform my job adequately and did not meet expectations, there would be consequences. In my classroom, students are able to earn class money as a reward for positive expected behaviors. Each time students enter my class, they are able to earn up to $1.00 of class money. When they fail to meet expectations, they lose some of their "paychecks." This system holds students accountable for their actions, such as helping others and being on task, so that all students feel safe in the learning environment and that instruction is not interrupted by unwanted behaviors and distractions.

Although we want students to always do the right thing, kindergarteners, first and second graders, who have not yet fully developed intrinsic motivation to always work hard and do what is right, often need some extrinsic motivation to help them stay on track.

As a result, in order to create buy-in, students are able to cash in the class money they have earned for prizes. With this project, we will make sure that we always have some big ticket prizes like croc bracelet charms and a video game controller that were specially curated by my kiddos and available for students to “save” and earn.
