I like the idea of a class "getting" to have a library animal for a week if they all return the books. I, too, do something for the whole class. I have a prize box where each student gets to take a prize if all books are returned. The kids love it. If the only names on the overdue list are students who are absent, the class still gets prizes. Where do I get my prizes? I use the "baseball cards" at the front of the Sports Illustrated for Kids magazine. Sometimes I get stickers in the mail, like from Highlights magazine. I also go to the Illinois State Fair and go to all the booths that give away stuff like keychains, pencils, crayons, stickers, etc. The most popular this past year were the sheriff's badges from the State Police, some "tattoos", and all the wristbands. I had two shades of green, blue ones, and orange ones. When I go to the booths, I always tell the person that I am a teacher, and they usually give me extras! The classes that usually quailify are 1st,2nd, and 3rd. But, I, too had a fourth grade class that qualified once last year, and they were really excited about getting a prize. This year I'm going to try to come up with a prize of some sort for classes who get all books back several times. I like the idea of a travelling trophy. I might be able to come up with someting for that.
