//The Good News://
This is a jar that holds marbles that are added to it to indicate great learner/classroom behavior. The teacher, the school and students appreciate an environment that encourages learning. When the jar is full of marbles and can hold no more; a reward in the form of treats, gifts, events etc. will be arranged for the class.

//The Not-So-Good News//:
When the KG Rules are violated, marbles are extracted from the jar, which delays appreciation rewards for the class.
