All Margaret Chase Smith classrooms have positive incentive plans to encourage expected behaviors while in school. Students decide to make a plan as a class and choose a reward they want to achieve. Last week, three classes agreed on a “Yes Day,” meaning students were allowed to make suggestions for the day while still participating in instructional activities.
