10/180 ALWAYS REVISING...

Being a teacher means you are constantly reflecting and revision, and reflecting and revising again...

Case in point.
 
This was going to be our "behavior" incentive tree. (I just like to make trees with tissue for the 3D effect). I envisioned using leaves with students names on them. Students would move up the tree when they are caught doing something positive.  Well, 25 leaves with 25 push pins... maybe not a good idea since you will use it everyday.

I didn't want to go back to the 3-4 colored stop sign... so this happened over the weekend.

Well it was "okay" today, but still not quite there. My team partner and I wanted to add words so that students knew what they could do to move up (they never move back down). So we are toying with the idea to start on the lower level with: We are great students!  The next level would be something like: We are following a class rule!  Then: We follow all the class rules!  And the top: We teach others how to follow class rules!  Not sure yet. 

But at least the Rules are finally posted! (Required on admin's. checklist) The kids can sing them... but we are still working on actually living them. You know 4 year olds love to put their hands everywhere!
