Mystery Student

I found this idea on a blog while looking at a different post.
To help keep the kids motivated in the new year, I'm going to have a Mystery Student each day. I will be on the look out for R.O.A.R. characteristics (Respectful, On Task, Always Safe, Responsible). We define what actions are acceptable and fit each aspect of R.O.A.R. at the beginning of the school year and practice throughout the year. Our PBIS committee gives us coupons the kids can earn by displaying great behavior. These coupons can be used for a variety of raffles, dance entry, drawings and as "money" to pay fines or purchase a new I.D.
For each class I teach, a student will be selected (the kids won't know) as the mystery student for that day. If the student does well, they will be identified as the mystery student of the day and  receive 5 R.O.A.R. coupons. If the student fails to meet expectations, the student won't be identified by name and we'll discuss what behaviors were noticed and ways to prevent them from happening again.
Free reward system so I don't have to spend my pennies on candy!
I plan on using a class roster to keep track of who I'm watching so students won't be chosen more than twice a month (based on class size).
