IN THE LUNCH ROOM ---Working and an IA (instructional assistant)at Weddle Elementary has helped me understand on a deeper level how children process information.
REWARDS... YES OR NO ???
Who was that theorist who said no ?
Well some children do not know me as Miss Bliven, they refer to me as the sticker lady. Some might say this is good or bad. What do you think?
One day I noticed how many undrunk milk cartons were being thrown away. I asked the janitor and he said around 150 cartons per day.
Since milk can be a good source of protein, I decided to give each child who drank their milk a sticker.
My system in the lunch room has been approved by my principal. I have to give credit to my mother who had my job prior to retiring. She started the sticker program and then I explanded it to the salad club.
The amount of milk thrown away has been greatly reduced and children are getting protein to help them focus after lunch.
