Tuesday Teacher Tip

I teach 4th grade special education at Oil City Elementary School. 

I use a card system in my room.  If a student follows all of the class rules their card remains green.  If your card remains green, you receive a Tiger Ticket at the end of the day (because we are the Tigers).  The ticket has a picture of a tiger on it.  The Tiger Ticket is used to purchase items in the Tiger Store at the end of every Friday.  Items in the store range from 1 ticket to 80 tickets!  I save toys from Happy Meals, stickers, candy, and anything I find that’s inexpensive.  The students are responsible for their tickets and have to decide if they will spend their tickets or save them for something big.  This integrates economics in a fun way.  The students love it so far, and it promotes consistent, good behavior.
