Rock & Teach is celebrating 100 followers with a great giveaway! :) She is giving away a $5 Starbucks card, $5 Teachers Pay Teachers gift certificate, and $15 Target gift card. Oh - those would all be great prizes! Head on over here and get in on the giveaway!
I am half way there - but when I get to 100 followers, I promise a fun giveaway! So, please tell your friends to come visit PJ Jots and follow!
On a totally random subject, I need to ask about class awards! Over the years, I have given classroom bucks and kids use them for an auction. This year I am team teaching and we are using "tickets" with an auction as well. Yes, the kids love the auctions. But do I? Not really! I find that it is very hard to get class donations, and I go broke trying to buy enough "fun stuff" for monthly auctions. Yes, I do have some awards that are no cost...such as my new award this year of letting one student "buy" to create a new font using my iPad and iFontmaker. I also have "shoes off" and similar awards. It's not only the cost...it's the auction itself. Kids seem to go crazy during auction time. I've thought of a silent auction, but don't know how well that would go over.
So...do you have a classroom auction? What do you do? Any other ideas for tickets/class money?
