Save Money and Reward Student Behavior - At the Same Time!

Teachers are always frugal, no matter how the larger economy is faring. We have to be! We're routinely given budgets that don't come close to covering the bare minimum required to run a classroom.

That's why I enjoy getting creative and finding effective ways to reward my students without spending a dime. I've never found a treasure chest of stickers and toys to be a good use of my limited money. So, I recognize my students' good behavior and performance in other FREE ways that they look forward to just the same.

What are your favorite free ways to motivate and reward your students?
