Each child has a 3"- x 4"-inch card. When a student is "caught being good," I use a heart-shaped hole-puncher to punch the edge of his or her card. Students can use their cards throughout the year to buy things from me. For example, lunch with the teacher might "cost" 30 punches, bringing a boom-box to recess might be 25 punches, wearing a hat in class is 10 punches, and a pencil or eraser costs 5 punches. The kids love it when I announce an upcoming "Punch Sale."
