Bribing probably isn’t the best word to use…since it typically means to persuade someone illegally. But I am a homeschool mom of 3…I am trying to persuade them to WANT to get good grades 🙂 It isn’t bad…right?!?
They are great students and we love to learn together. I love to teach them … and what teacher doesn’t love to see a good grade at the end of a unit. It means they were listening! And hopefully it isn’t just me that thinks that their kids never listen!! So this year I decided that when I see 100% – that deserves a prize!
If one child gets 100% the other two gather around and dump out the prizes and they first study the prizes…
Then they really get a close look at the prizes…then they usually do process of elimination until they are left with the prize they are putting in their collection.
Looky here! Ryker got 100%!
This is Ryker’s bag of prizes he has already earned. They love these little animal erasers.
If something so small makes them feel rewarded for doing their best…I am all for it!!
