Dive into a good book.
Reading gives students a creative escape β and it gives you some quiet time too. Let your class enjoy extra reading time as a reward for doing good. You can even have an individual reward to it too by letting a student read in a designated area other than their desk. Think about a fun corner with a bean bag or mat. Or you could have a special reading hat a select student gets to wear as a token of all their hard work.
There are many ways to run this reward !
You can even let students return or lend books for some points, kind of like when you sell your books back to a used book store. This will create a classroom economy based on books, and that's pretty awesome.
