Scoreboard

           I am loving the new scoreboard levels.  The scoreboard is one of the first strategies that I implemented and it is so effective.  Now, it is new and improved - just like many things with WBT, it is constantly being updated.  My students have responded well to the scoreboard and it has helped to improve whole class behavior on a daily basis.  The downfall, of course, is that kids become used to it and then, it becomes less effective.  Coach B. has come up with a great idea - scoreboard levels!!!! As soon as the students walked in the door this morning, they noticed the new scoreboard which is labeled Base Camp and has K (for kindergarten) on the frownie side and grade 4 on the smiley side. We are 2nd graders so, the scoreboard reflects 2 grades lower for frownies and 2 grades higher for the smiley.  Throughout the day, students earn tally marks on each side and at the end of the day, we check out the score.  If we are ahead - more smileys than frownies - then we "won"!  
    The new scoreboard has students leveling up a scoreboard after earning 10 wins! Some levels have bonus points and as the class moves up, brainies are incorporated.  Check out the WBT broadcast {here} along with many other webcasts.  My students are excited for a new challenge with the scoreboard. Are you trying out the new scoreboard levels? If so, how is it going?
