I believe that giving rewards or a simple praise for a job well done at the end of the day is must-to-do for teachers before every day/session ends.
It doesn't necessarily be so expensive, it could be something that's of no-cost. When my kids are behaving so well during the day, I give them a star on their fist or if someone is having a not-so-good day I give them a smiley. And it surely would want my kids to look forward for the next day to behave. One of my kid's mom shared to me that her son brag his star to all the members of the family, and when he takes a bath he really didn't want his hand with a star on it to be wet with water.
What a joy in my heart to hear this and it really makes me happy to see the smile on my students face. Every day I always challenge my kids to do their best in everything they do (not only academically but in actions and in words, too) – it will not only make their teachers smile but it would also make their parents & Jesus happy.
