Do your students have MESSY desks? Do they leave every STUFF everywhere every afternoon? Have you ever dumped a desk out and discovered unfinished work, pencils, and leftover snacks? Arghhhh.... There is no easy fix, that's for sure! But, maybe the Desk Fairy can help.
Occasionally, the Desk Fairy (my oldest daughter) will come for a visit in my classroom. He/she is unannounced and unexpected, and will make her appearance AFTER the students have all left or BEFORE they arrive in the morning. She picks out the THREE neatest and most organized desks and leaves a special recognition on the desks. I use a cone that says A+ and a piece of candy or small trinket.
My students have always enjoyed this. And, it's an incentive for them to keep their work turned in, and their area clean and organized.
