If a student wanted too they could save up 30 dollars and by an ice cream cone from the teacher. I am hoping that this idea works. My goal for this activity is to promote good behavior in the classroom, and to give the students something to look forward too. I want the environment in my classroom to be relaxed and open. If the students aren't relaxed and the environment is stressful then the students are not going to be the best that they can.
Nobody likes to be rushed or stressed out when they are taking a test.
I plan on have my students work a lot in groups or at least with partners. I feel that you learn more by doing things in groups. I would like to think that all of these ideas of my will work perfectly. However, I know that some of them will fail, but I will always have a back up plan for when the do fail. When planning for things you need to keep in mind that it is good to be flexible, your plans can change unexpectedly.
