Kisses and
Hearts
Pamela Pounds
draws kisses on her students’ papers for a job well done. They get to color in the lips. She also draws hearts when they “make
her heart sing.”
Snaps Jar
Kat Baxter has a
jar called the “Snaps” jar. When
the kids do something that they are proud of they write it on a strip of paper
and place it in the jar. The
teacher pulls their names from the jar and the class gives them “snaps” to
celebrate.
Top Priority
When introducing
something important to your class put a sign on the door that says “Top
Priority.” (I can think of other
situations when you might want that sign on your door!)
New Claps
Teach children the
“hotdog” clap by extending your arms wide horizontally and clapping. For a “hamburger” clap extend your
hands vertically.
