Comment on Behaviour incentives - pizza party points by librarianism

This is a really cool siteI I love this behavior-incentive idea, especially. This could be fun with other foods as the counters…maybe adding popcorn kernels to a tub or chocolate chips to a giant cookie.

Good luck with Year 3, possibly my favourite year group
I’ve passed your question on to the teacher responsible for the display but a glance at their Flickr stream suggests they are on holiday in the US just at the moment
My own guess is that the colours relate to the HF lists the words come from. If I’m right then the yellow ones should be known already by all the class,(Reception high frequency word list) the green ones (year 1/2 high frequency word list) by most. So I’d have those up from the start, then I’d add in the blue ones as we progressed through the year in conjunction with the spelling lists. Does that help?

Hi there,
I am starting my probationary year with primary 3s this year and I love the interactivity of this display. I was wondering why the tricky words have been colour-coded in 3 categories? This is probably a silly question but I have no experience of this age group!

Also would you introduce the words to the wall gradually based on the spelling words that week?

Any pointers anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

The links aren’t working for some reason. I would really love to be able to check out their site and try this out in my own classroom! Thanks!

No we bought special paper (from PC World I think) and printed their designs onto it in the computer suite and then one of our classroom assistants ironed their designs onto the shirts that they’d brought into school. Worked best on plain white 100% cotton t-shirts.
