I use a mini-economy to motivate students. Students earn money based upon homework completion ($100/homework assignment turned in on time with their name on it). Students can also earn bonus money. Just like you or I can get fined for making poor choices (long grass, speeding, tail lights out, etc.), students are fined for their poor choices. Students then get to spend their money during periodic classroom auctions and for treats throughout the year.
In situations when a fine is not appropriate, consequences such as an apology letter, missed recess, removal from activity, or missing a special activity may be used. In the case of a major behavior, I will contact parents directly.
Each Friday, I will send home a Star Sheet with notations about your child's late homework and any significant behavior problems during the week. Please sign and return this each Monday. This counts as the first homework assignment of the week.
