Listen and Obey (Stephanie Velasquez)
If we listen to our teachers (point to ears)
And do it right away. (point with finger)
Happy, happy, happy is our day. (point and smile)
OBEY! (Everyone yells together.)
Morning Dance (Genevieve Shafer)
This call and response reminds students to have a positive attitude, it’s O.K. to make mistakes, and they are all special.
I am ready for school. (wiggle shoulders)
I will have a good day. (twist)
I am confident. (stand tall)
I’m not better than you. (lean and point to the side)
You’re not better than me. (lean and point to the other side)
We’re all amazing! (spin with arms up)
If I fall, I get up. (tuck and touch floor and stand up “x” with body)
I win or I learn.
Thank you God for making me. (pray hands)
I’m exactly who I’m supposed to be! (say loud and proud while jumping with arms in the air)
Classroom Mirror (Andrea Neal)
Children love using mirrors in the classroom. Cover a mirror and ask students to look under it to see your favorite kid.
*If a student is upset, sad, or misbehaving then ask them to go find the happy well-behaved student that you know in the mirror. When they see themselves they will smile, and it usually changes their attitude.
Under (Elma Valdez)
Tape caution tape across the classroom doorway and have the children crawl “UNDER” the tape for the letter “U.”
