Students begin each day with their worm on green apple. If students remain on green apple the entire day, they will earn a “punch” on their Good Apple Punch Card. When students fill their card (earn 10 punches), they will receive a prize from the treasure chest.
![Page 13: Miss Thomas 2013-2014](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816147550346895dd0c27a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
One warning will be provided before moving a student’s worm from green to yellow apple. Landing on yellow apple will result in a discussion with the teacher and loss of playtime. Landing on red apple will result in an additional discussion, loss of playtime, and phone call home.

“Brownie Points” are earned together as a whole class. The class will earn brownies by working together. For example: following the rules, being kind, and receiving compliments. When the brownie pan is full (24 brownies), the class will be rewarded.
