I give them a decent old whack with the joke stick all the time, so I find it quite appropriate that every now and then they get the guts up to pay me back a few. And if anyone tells you lollies don't have a place in a classroom, call their bluff! Aw, I found the spider quite creative and showed that the kids have a healthy respect for me.

And if anyone tells you lollies don’t have a place in a classroom, call their bluff!

Still trying to work out a few things and how to set the joint up properly, but I'll nut things out soon, I hope. Giving out lollies is a standard tool of classroom management! They're good, they get raffle tickets. Their raffle ticket gets drawn out at the end of the week, they get a lolly. Their table wins the points at the end of two weeks, they get two lollies.

This should be left up to parents - we need to bribe them too you know. Joking, I am all for giving rewards and positive encouragement. Welcome to your new blog home. I hope you are very happy here.
