How are teams chosen: During
the first week of school students will let our "sorting hat" decide which team they
will be in. This way it is totally random.
Will teams sit together?: No, they will sit in different seating
arrangements throughout the year.
Will teams change during the year?: No.
How do teams earn points?: Team points will be tallied each
week. During the week they will be able to place points in their team jar by
doing the following things:
1. The whole group handing in their homework on time for the week (worth ten points per team).
2. Being caught doing an act of kindness (worth one point per person).
3. Doing a class job properly (worth one point per person).
4. Answering tough questions in class like math puzzles (worth one point per person).
5. Being the first one that is ready with their supplies for a subject (worth one point per person).
6. Getting in line quietly (worth one point per person).
7. Walking in line quietly (worth one point per person).
8. Cleaning up their area after an activity (worth one point per person).
9. Following directions (worth one point per person).
10. Getting their name on the "Math Masters List" (worth ten points per person).
11. Getting first place in the weekly team score for Accelerated Reader (worth fifty points per team).
12. Getting second place in the weekly team score for Accelerated Reader (worth thirty points per team).
13. Getting third place in the weekly team score for Accelerated Reader (worth fifteen points per team).
14. Getting fourth place in the weekly team score for Accelerated Reader (worth ten points per team).
15. Finishing one question on the Einstein Club Scavenger Hunt (worth five points per person).
How are prizes awarded?: At the end of each
week the top team will be able to get a prize from the prize bin. At the end of the quarter the top team will
get to eat lunch in the classroom with the teacher and have ice cream for dessert. At the end of the year the
top team will get lunch with the teacher and a full day of Fun Friday (normally Fun Friday is only from 1:00-2:25).
