How do the kids get rewarded? 1. Class Teachers’ Rewards: Each class has a reward chart; it’s divided into two sections, academic and behavioral. The students should collect 10 points throughout the week to get rewarded at the end of the week.
How do the kids get rewarded? 2. Arabic Teacher Rewards: The Arabic room has the same reward charts and the Arabic teacher will pick a student from each stage to be rewarded at the end of the week.
How do the kids get rewarded? 3. Non-core Subjects (Music, Art and P.E.): The non-core teachers will give rewards to the students every week by rotation, one week for Art, the next one for Music, then P.E. They also use the same reward chart as class teachers and Arabic teacher.
