SMART DOTS

Day 11 of our trip!

Number Book
Create a take home number book that every child can add to. (A spiral notebook would work well. Include a note so parents will know what to do.) The first child takes the book home and makes a set of one on the first page. The second child takes the book home and makes a set of two on the second page. The third child….etc.

Line Up Chant (Kelley DiBella)
1, 2 Listen and do.
3, 4 Face the door.
5, 6 Fingers on lips.
7, 8 Stand up straight.
9, 10 Let quiet walking begin.

Wall Push Ups
While children are waiting and standing in line in the hall encourage them to do push ups against the wall.

Smart Dots (Tammy England)
Use scented lip balm to focus children’s attention. Put a “smart dot” with the lip balm on their hand when they are listening quietly, lining up, etc.
