I wanted to let you know about the reward system that I use in my classroom.  Each row/group of desks is given a number.  The groups are given the goal to reach 100 points by the end of the month.  Those groups that have reached 100 points will receive a reward such as a popcorn party, extra recess, a special movie, game time, etc.  The groups receive points for good behavior such as being quiet in the hallways, classrooms, at Mass, for following directions, for returning Monday folders on time, and various other ways.  However, if groups or students in the group are talking, not following directions, and so on the group can lose points.  I try to reward them for their good behavior, but I am also trying to have them use positive peer pressure to get their classmates to behave.  So, if your son/daughter has mentioned points at home this is what it means.
