Hey everyone!
I'm Amy from Cahill's Creations.
I'm here to share my ideas on how to become even more positive in the classroom. This year, we decided to be EVEN MORE positive than last year! So, we finally decided to say goodbye to the clip chart. We realized that it really wasn't helping the negative behaviors. By the end of the year, we were JUST using the chart for positive choices and behaviors.
We've turned the clip chart wall into a bucket filling wall! We've been in school for 3 weeks now and we're seeing great success so far! We're hearing kids talk about other kids in a more positive way. They are recognizing their friends as being bucket fillers and we love hearing them! Our ultimate goal is for the class to build a community of caring kids working collaboratively together. We are spending more time talking about positive behaviors and building friendships than ever before. We are also talking more about how we can celebrate our differences in a positive way.
Sending daily notes home is something we love to do. This year, our goal is to be more SPECIFIC with the notes and with the kids. We want to let the kids know exactly what they're getting a warm fuzzy for. We want to build positive behaviors by using very specific language. In turn, the kids will start using the same language and be able to articulate that with their parents. When that happens, we feel it is a success!
"You can put a warm fuzzy in your bucket for cooperating with your group today!"
I even created stickers too! You can use AVERY 5160 labels for printing. I was so excited when I found Astrobright labels on Amazon Prime!
