"Smart Cookies" is the theme and incentive program in our classroom. Students learn that to be a "Smart Cookie" they must be Good Listeners, Good Thinkers, and Make Connections from one lesson to another. Every time a student demonstrates one of these elements, they get a "One Smart Cookie" ticket with their name on it. They love seeing their tickets posted on our bulletin board. Sometimes it's a problem keeping them from trying to find one more connection or thought. What a problem!
To inspire my students to read, I have set Points
Goals and Comprehension Goals using Accelerated Reader. Students move
themselves up the chart and once they reach both goals, they receive either a
Cookie Monster cupcake or a special cookie. And boy!!! Do they want that
cupcake!!!
