What is the Coin Board?
The coin board is a system to turn our class into a game. The coin board symbols each represent a positive or negative value in our class. Every day students get coins or goombas added to their names on the board. Students can get coins by getting three checks next to their name on the board in the front of the class, doing extra work, or getting an R point in another class.
Students can get a check next to their name by:
- being ready when class starts
- answering questions in class
- reading in class
- being kind and helping their classmates
Students get a goomba, a negative point that eats a coin, by getting three "X"s next to their name on the white board. Students can get an "X" by:
- choosing not to follow the class rules
- speaking Chinese in English class
- saying something in the special X-Box on the board
- being mean to their classmates
At the end of each semester, students use these coins to buy toys and class supplies in an auction. There are many different things for sale in the auction.
Here are what the symbols mean:
