New Ticket Reward System Overview

Hello everyone. On Friday, I introduced a new reward system that we would be using in our class for the rest of the year. If you've forgotten, or were absent, here are the details:

-Tickets will be given out to students that are displaying leadership skills, good behavior, and hard work. You can be given tickets in AND out of class. For tickets given in class, you must write your name on the back of the ticket, then turn it in at the end of class. I will initial your ticket when it is returned to me, and place it in your class' envelope.

-On Fridays, I will draw 5 tickets out of your class' envelope. The more tickets you've received throughout the week, the more chances you'll have to get your name drawn. The following rewards can be received for having your name drawn:

1. Free 100 on any daily grade (even if it was a zero)
2. Eat lunch with a friend & me
3. Nice note/phone call home
4. Sit anywhere you want on the following Monday (even the teacher's desk!)
5. 10 extra points on any test grade
6. If you have TWO tickets drawn with your name on them, I will get you Whataburger for lunch one day the following week :)

-After drawing on Fridays, I will take the remaining tickets and place them in your class bucket.

-At the end of every six weeks, I will count each classes' tickets and the class that received the most tickets together will win a party day with food and no classwork!

-At the end of the year, whichever class has received the most tickets will win a big reward (to be determined).

Imagery Pictures and Notes

Here are some examples of our imagery hunt from the past couple days! I've edited out the names... Also, at the very bottom, I've included a picture of the board today covering what we're going over. If you were absent, this is something you need to see!

Pictures from Imagery Hunt!

Today, we identified imagery in informational text! We read about The Great Fire in Chicago :) Tomorrow, we are going to finish reading the story we started today and apply our knowledge of authors purpose, tone, mood, and making inferences. We will also be illustrating imagery we found! See y'all tomorrow!

New photos!
