skippy Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Hi we have just introduced a marble jar, I was just wondering if anyone else uses one as a reward system and when the jar is full what treat do the children get ??
Marion Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 I don't use it (not since I lost my marbles ......a long story) but our Y3 teacher does and she lets the children decide their own reward. Things they have picked in the past have been cooking pizza, videos on a Friday afternoon and a "disco" in the hall.
Guest Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Hi Skippy, Yes our school and foundation unit have used marble jars for a long time. I am based in the Foundation unit and previous treats have included a trip to the local park, a teddy bears picnic, we have had a cinema afternoon with tickets and popcorn !! one group of children wanted to bake biscuits. We sit the children down and talk to them about the treat and give them some ideas but ultimately the choice is theirs. Obviously going on an aeroplane to the seaside we couldn't accomodate much to my disappointment. Hope it works well for your children. N
