Vacuum

Last night one of my 6th graders forgot to put her crate up after I specifically reminded everyone to make sure his/her area was clean. Normally, not too big a deal, but this student had stuff everywhere... not easy to pick up/put on top of her desk. The janitor was going to vacuum, and she's the kind of person who would pick up the mess just because, but I saw this as a perfect natural consequence opportunity. 

So, the janitor did not vacuum our room last night. When our janitor finished vacuuming the rest of the school, I had her leave the vacuum next to this student's desk. The student could vacuum the room since she was the reason we didn't get vacuumed. It worked. This kid didn't complain about having to do it, but she was the first person to put her crate up at the end of the day!
