Are you in need of reward coupons? This page will help keep chaos in the classroom to a minimum! I use one sheet each day. I have my classroom set up in groups of 3-4 students. Each day, the groups earn points for good behavior (I keep a tally sheet on the board) At the end of the day, whichever group wins, they receive one sheet. Each member of the winning group can select one coupon. I cut the coupons and deliver to the students. They are responsible for keeping track of their earned coupons,

Are you setting up literature circles in your classroom? You can use this bookmark with any book!!! Students should use one bookmark for each time they read. The first thing they do is meet with their group and decide what pages to read and review their bookmarks from last time (if needed). Then they go and read separately. After reading, they should fill out the bookmark individually....then their bookmark is ready for their next meeting!!!
