These containers are used to encourage my students to use appropriate behaviors as well as bring back their homework everyday. When they do these things, they get to put money in their container. At the end of every week, they get to count the money they have collected and buy something from my classroom store. I have found that using this system motivates my students and helps them regulate their behaviors and work discipline. They love being able to buy things from the store. They are more actively engaged in my classroom because they want to earn money for their containers. It has also created an environment where they encourage each other to get more money so that they can earn classroom rewards by pooling their money together. It has been a great system that also allows them to practice counting money!
