House of Marbles Marble Reward Jar

Product Information

The most important thing about using a behavior marble jar to encourage your child’s initiative is to focus on rewarding those positive behaviors you want your child to repeat without using the jar as a form of punishment. Explain to your students your expectations – what type of behaviour will warrant getting marbles in the jar. Then, explain that there will be two lines on the jar – these are little reward stations. Once the class receives enough marbles to hit the first line, the whole class will receive a chosen reward. Watching their little jar fill up throughout the day is half the fun and helps encourage your child to continue practicing those positive behaviors and earn rewards. Without selection or gene flow you might expect the allele frequency to remain stable. If all individuals produced the same number of offspring this might be true. However, chance has a role in determining whether a given individual survives and reproduces too. The allele frequency in a population will fluctuate due to random events. Some individuals might produce more offspring and others might die and produce no offspring, not because of any selection pressure, but by pure chance.

Differentiated Marbles - we need to appreciate that an action is not always seen the same way by different people. A deposit for one person may be a withdrawal from another and deposits may have differing levels of impact between people. This is why we need to invest in understanding our students, friends, colleagues and family which it itself is a deposit. You can also use the marble jar with friends and make it a little competition with each child choosing their own reward. Did you know that you can use a virtual marble jar as well? I don’t remove marbles from the jar, no matter how rough a day it is.

Trust, in the most basic sense, is placing confidence in another person, and in return, them placing confidence in you. Set up a rule to put both you and your child at ease – “It gets hard when you ask me for marbles all the time.
