(Cool Cats) are collected and a draw takes place. The winner
receives a coupon for A&W.

House Points
Students
are all assigned to a specific "House." There are four houses:
Red, Blue, Green and Gold. Students can earn House Points during
class time as an incentive or reward.
Some classrooms keep
track of House Points using a peg board and others post the points in
the classroom. When students keep track of their points, they are
participating in a real-world example of numeral fluency.
Students
also earn points by dressing up on special days. Calculation of
house points is tabulated and posted in the school.
