Tried It Tuesday and I'm Having a giveaway!!!

I am new to Tried it Tuesday but I was reading on Fern Smith's blog this morning about a little good behavior incentive  and with as much chatter that goes on in my room, I was willing to "try" anything.  Here is my Tried It Tuesday!  A Fourth Grade Flipper Linky Partay!!!

I know...It's a school bag.  But this is no ordinary school bag friends...This contains a super secret prize!  Whenever my students stay in the positive behavior zone of my clip chart, they get their name put in the bucket to be drawn out for the prize.  I also drew out for lunch bunch today, but I put the names back in for the prize drawing this afternoon.  When I drew out for the prize, I put the name back in because there is a slightly larger prize on Friday that I want every one to have a chance at.  Plus, Fern said it eliminates discouragement and giving up because they may not always be caught being good. 

Todays prize was a sheet of stickers.  Natalie in my room  won the drawing today and she just smiled and held up her stickers.  I never thought they could make her that happy.   Tomorrows prize is a really cool pen.  But I make a big deal of the prize and check it often through out the day to see if its "still good"  We had a good day today and I attribute it to this little incentive and also because I was having a good day. 
For more details on this tried it Tuesday, head over to Ferns Classroom Ideas and see her cute little bags!

BUT, don't forget I am having a little giveaway and I hope you get in on the love!!!
