[aisle] prizes

[Betsy Yager]

I do prizes for every 5 books they read and take quizzes on.  They are
things like tell a joke on the AM announcements, help with book checkin,
sit in a special seat, eat their lunch in the library with 2 friends and
play games during recess if they want to stay.... the only ones that cost
me money are a treasure chest that I fill with stuff from the dollar store
and for 50 books, they get a free book which I have a pile that I have
collected over the years.  Otherwise, they are just things that they can
do.  For some it really works, so I guess it's worth it.  I go back and
forth too in terms of whether we should be rewarding them for reading.
