The Privilege Jar
Okay, so being on maternity leave has really got me thinking about some new fresh and fun ideas for my kiddos. My sister is currently going to a weekly Bible study on Sunday evenings. It's about disciplining your children. I'm so bummed that I can't go {it started right after Hudson was born} because I feel like I could really use some help with my SPUNKY 2 year old. Most of the things she has learned are for older children and things I can't really use at home right now. The newest thing that she's implemented at home {and her girls love} is the privilege jar. Basically, she sat down with her girls and asked them some things they would like to do. Some of these include painting their Dad's toenails, drinking a coke at dinner, and some other cute things. These are written on strips of paper, folded, and placed in a jar. When she feels they have done something EXTREMELY awesome, she may {not always} tell them that they can pull a privilege from the jar. This is the cutest idea, and it got me thinking..... this would be A.W.E.S.O.M.E. to use in the classroom! I think it would be a good idea to have your students {with your approval} come up with the privileges. When you are finished, it may look something like this!
I hope you all can gain some use from these ideas and use them in your classroom. If you already use this or if you decide to use it, I would love to hear from you!

I just saw your post on Pinterest, and I just have to say that I love this idea! I think this would be a great way to motivate students. It's something different than they're used to and I think they would absolutely love it!! :)
I'm also excited to check out other posts on your blog! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us all in blogland!
This is a very neat idea. I am goint to incorporated this into my management program. Thanks for the idea!!!!!
Is A.W.E.S.O.M.E an acryonm for something?
I stumbled across this on Pinterest as well, and immediately thought, "WHY did I not come up with this before now?" I can't wait to try this next year in the classroom and see how a positive reward system (without tons of trinkets and a class store) will work!
Thanks for the awesome idea!

Oh my- this is so amazing! I love this idea and will make one today. We have the boredom jar, but not this. Positive reinforcement is such a powerful motivator :-) Thanks so much for the idea!
OMG, this is wonderful idea, any teacher can follow in the classroom and children love to do this n I feel within a week time children can be brought into a core. Thank you.
Might just work with my VPK class...thanks for sharing.
