Shout out to Tara at 4th Grade Frolics for being a totally with it teacher! I knew that I would NEVER be able to keep up with a weekly “Monday Made It” now that school is back in session – so she transitioned it to a monthly series. Yaaay!
This year, I want to really focus on positive behavior so I created a card using Vistaprint. Here it is!
I began handing them out last week and the students were so excited to get them! I try to remember to hand out two a class period – but help my mind! My goal this week is to make a bigger deal out of it with the awardees. With a few of my classes, all of the students are so good it’s hard to choose. And with other classes…sigh..well I think you can put the pieces together, lol!
I purchased some mini Skittles and Starburst to hand out as prizes, but I would like to come up with other prizes as well. Any ideas?
I have been giving pencils out as a treat. I was shocked that they were excited about that 🙂
I wish I could give you some ideas, but my brain is not working until further notice! 🙂

I have been wanting to order from Vistaprint. My teacher friend has gotten two large posters for free! They are beautiful! I’d also like to invite you to my new linky called “Fun Friday.” It is all about the fun things we do in our classrooms.

I use a lot of prizes that don’t really cost me anything – use a pen for a day, switch seats for the day, take off your shoes during the test, candy bin, homework pass, have a mint during the test…
