School Prize Basket & Giveaway Winner

In our homeschool if you do great on a test or accomplish something really hard, you get to pick a prize from the "prize bin". This year it's a prize basket since the cardboard "box" was getting beat. I replenished with all kinds of great stuff! Included this year are also "coupons" for various fun things...extra hour up at night, extra 30 mins on the computer etc.

Do you have any kind of reward system at your homeschool?

So sorry for not posting this earlier

Oh, I love the prize basket. I may have to start doing that. I don't like to bribe, but my oldest son is very, very motivated by stuff. Come to think of it, so was I!

We don't homeschool but I do have a prize bag for them... they can 'buy' stuff using our Family Dollars that they earn from helping around the house, doing their chores, going above and beyond. This year we were thinking of using tickets for them to get when they do well in school...which can in turn be used to buy a prize.

We do prizes in our home as well. I plan to eventually move from prize basket to "store" when we are ready to start really ralking about money.

Awesome basket and congrats to your winner! I don't do prizes much sometimes because I don't want extra "stuff" laying around the house, but my kids would love the incentives! :) Thanks for sharing on NOBH!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
