What are these things and why do I keep finding them in my house?
Hello Lower Campus Parents! Today, I thought we could talk about those small blue pieces of paper that you keep finding in your house...BLUE TICKETS! Our positive behavior program is based on identifying individual and group positive behaviors and rewarding those behaviors with a ticket. When an entire class displays positive behaviors the class will earn a yellow ticket. When a student displays positive behaviors, the student can earn a blue ticket.
Our blue tickets may seem minor, but they can be cashed out for some exciting rewards! Each students is able to choose how he or she uses the blue tickets. Here are the options.
1. Friday Raffle-Students can place their blue ticket(s) in their grade level's basket on Thursday or Friday morning. On Friday morning, Mrs. Severine (LC Director) will draw 2 tickets from each basket. The winners are able to come to the school store and choose any item from the school store.
2. Individual Reward list- Students can save their blue tickets and cash them out for a fun experience in their classroom such as using the teacher's chair for the day or bringing a stuffed animal friend to class. There are so BIG experiences too, such as being Mrs. Sev's assistant or helping Mr. Julio for the day. These rewards generally take place in the classroom!
3. Celebration Station- Students can save their blue tickets and use them to purchase an item from the "Celebration Station," a vending machine PACKED with fun things from the school store. The Celebration Station is available for kindergartners and first-graders on Monday mornings and second- and third-graders on Friday mornings.
Also, we collect all of the blue tickets that are cashed in and work towards a school-wide reward that the students choose.
Blue tickets are a fun way to recognize positive behaviors and allow kiddos to choose their reward! Some kids love the excitement of the Friday Raffle, while others prefer to save up their tickets for the Wolf Den.
The moral of this story is, don't throw away those blue tickets!
