Classroom Awards To Reward and Motivate. They're A MUST!!Classroom awards, i.e. recognition awards, are absolutely fabulous for building student motivation in the classroom and definitely essential for creating strong teacher student relationships. Whether you are 5, 10, 22, 37 or 50 years old, you appreciate praise and acknowledgment for who you are and what you achieve! I always gave out student awards - even my Grade 6 students loved receiving them. The one that was favoured the most was "Student of the Week". I always used tons of stickers on my student awards. For example: * Sports Achievement Award - stickers with soccer, football or basketballs on them. * Halloween stickers throughout the month of October on certificates, awards or school passes you give out. * Christmas stickers throughout the month of December. All elementary school kids - no matter how old, LOVE stickers!

Don't worry it's very easy. I used thank you notes when parents helped out on a field trip/excursion or assisted me in my class for a particular event. These are great for teacher parent communication. Believe me when I say that awards are a necessity in your classroom and will be a huge hit. Please keep in mind that by the end of the school year, every student in your class should receive an award. Don't leave anyone out! You don't want to crush any student's self esteem. Every student deserves recognition and class awards are a great way to go!!
