Now that we have been doing the WBT for a month, I can assure you it works very well.  The kids love the 5 rules and totally love the classroom scoreboard.  Go figure, all I have to do it put a mark on the sad face and the kids are good.  Put a happy face point up and everyone is excited. There is no real reward for doing good they just want to.

I am going to implement reward incentives on their personal scoreboards.  They will receive a ticket for every 10 smilie points they get on a personal level.  With those tickets they get to pick something from the treasure box. I have all kinds of goodies from the dollar store for them to pick from.  If they gather tickets and save them, the rewards are puzzles, games and things for our classroom to share with other students. The catch to those rewards are they stay in the classroom. This challenges the child to rise above the normal and reach for the stars to become a Peer Mentor.  Tons of perks for this person, they pass out papers, pencils, glue and so forth for me, essentially a teacher helper.  Coveted job of the class however!  What a wonderful way to have a child start in 1^st grade, trying to be a peace maker, eager to help and someone who wants their teacher to be happy.  Lovin' it! 10 finger Woo  

This should be incorporated in schools all over the world.  Take the pain out of teaching and allows us to love our jobs.
