Summer Reward Chart

Ethan stayed after school one day that last week of school to help Mr. Menard clean out his room. Mr. Menard was going to throw the behavior chart out, but told Ethan he could have them if he wanted. Of course Ethan did. This has lead to using the same behavior system they have at school at home for the summer. They each have a clip and start out the day on Good. They get to move it up for good behavior and down for bad behavior. Moving your clip up earns you tickets. The kids can cash in their tickets for prizes. 10 tickets= a prize from the dollar store and 20 tickets= 1 hour of uninterrupted playtime with Mom. Ethan has already made one trip to the dollar store and currently he is saving up for 20 tickets.
Aubrey just earned her 10 tickets this week for her trip to the dollar store. Here she is counting her tickets before bed (that is when I hand them out) to see if she has enough. It is a simple system and seems to be working well so far. It is helping Aubrey to realize that sometimes her actions (whining is a big one right now) result in consequences.
