I can see kids coming up to me saying they dropped their stickers someplace. I love this idea though. Just wanting to think through the bumps in the road and how to handle them.

I do struggle to pass out stickers without having to stop what we are doing, so I ended up tallying next to names and catching up on stickers after school. I hate to stop using this system because it really does work well for the kids, but it seems to be a lot of work on my part. Any suggestions?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141847934359266273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098704072516171861.post-21291415355344419922018-08-20T15:32:27.700-07:002018-08-20T15:32:27.700-07:00This is great!

I like the idea and I want to do this, but think the management of handing out stickers will be difficult. My students turn in a lot of their "center" work and I don't usually look at their work until the weekend. Do you give the sticker automatically or do you keep track a different way and pay them at a different time?Bonnie Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610828221201394629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098704072516171861.post-68629062073074290852018-05-14T22:49:50.005-07:002018-05-14T22:49:50.005-07:00I love stickers.. always have.

I use gold nuggets (laminated squares of yellow paper with 40 nuggets per sheet). Children vote on whether they'd like to try an economy system in Sept. (they always say yes but it is about them buying in). Then they earn nuggets based on behaviour, returning notices or homework, doing their classroom jobs, etc. to buy items at our class store. It seriously is the easiest management system ever. I do take nuggets away too (forgetting their book bags, don't do homework, poor behaviour, etc.) They get paid every Friday and we have our store every other week. The cashier, store clerk and classroom economist run the store. I have used it with grades 1 through 7. Kids love it! I love it!Donna Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08191616977479334955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098704072516171861.post-53521471307821901592017-08-19T14:37:13.537-07:002017-08-19T14:37:13.537-07:00I think this idea is brilliant!
