8th grade reward should be a movie day. They all vote on a movie from your list of movies and at the end of the semester, if everyone passed the class, they can bring blankets and pillows from home and cozy up to a movie. You could supply them with some candy and 2-liter soda/cups. They would be welcome to bring snacks of their own. I always appreciated whenever my teachers did days like that. Days when time just needed passed anyway, when the semesters ended or during the last few days of school. You'd get tired of watching the same movie 4 times, but the beauty of it is that it would give you time during the school day to plan further coursework, so you would probably just tune it out anyway.
