Treasure Box

Have a fun "Treasure Box" in your classroom. Keep it locked and shut. On days when your classroom is noisier or more disruptive, instead of getting upset, take a few minutes to get out the Treasure Box, and have some fun with the children. Have fun CD's with songs or music children like, neat puzzler activities that are age-appropriate, or even some quick drama play for them to act out. You don’t have to take more than 5-7 minutes with this activity, but it can turn your whole class day around.

Have a great day. You are a difference maker.

Seems to me this rewards bad behavior.

I do not believe in reinforcing negative behavior. This is a prevention strategy to use to redirect behavior before it gets out of control.
