So this blog actually has dual meaning, as I observed a teacher who actively engaged her students, and I am actively engaged right now! So fun!!
Anyway, on Thursday I had the opportunity to volunteer with a teacher who is absolutely amazing with keeping her students engaged. She uses "token towers" and when the kids earn thirty tokens they get a prize. When a kid is off task, she tells him or her that shes going to take a token. On the other hand, she awards tokens to students who are doing well in the class.
I have noticed that a reward system works the best with kids. The prizes are never big things, usually pretzels or goldfish crackers, but the kids love it!
