Teaching Tip

Try this strategy for promoting good classroom conduct: Divide the class into three groups and give each group a transparent jar. Every time students from a particular group display positive behavior (such as following directions, working quietly, taking care of their materials), place a jellybean in their jar. When a jar is full, students from that group divide the jellybeans up and eat them. Watch as students try their best, both individually and cooperatively to fill their jars with jellybeans!
