Re: [LM_NET] Incentive for returning books

[Mary Ludwick <ludwick@SWBELL.NET>]

For some classes it works at that age.  I had one fifth grade class who had 
the attitude that they were too old.  Then one day, by chance, the class 
qualified.  It created some excitement as they selected what to take.

  Mary, I love this idea.  Does it work with the older students (4th and 5th 
grades) as well?

    I work at the elementary level. I have many stuffed animals or puppets 
in
    the library. I try to purchase things that will relate to a book. If the
    entire class returns books on time, the class can select an animal to 
visit
    the classroom for a week. The class name is announced on morning
    announcements. (Congratulations to XZY class who returned all library 
books
    and selected ____ to visit the classroom.)

    This has been effective.
