Happy Hopping

With the end of the school year approaching, it can get super chaotic. End of the year award ceremonies, field trips, assessments...it's hard to keep the students on track and even more... their behaviors in check. I will say that this has been a challenging week for my kiddos. They have had a hard time keeping quiet and getting along!

I made the little sign above and I hang on the whiteboard. Basically the kiddos can simply put a post-it note up reflecting on how their day was... Did they do their best? How could they have made their day or the day of someone else better?  How can they make tomorrow better?   This makes them reflect on some choices they made and how they could make better choices the next day.  I give the kiddos about 5 minutes right before they pack up at the end of the day to do this. Super easy! The kiddos love writing on post-it notes but you could simply have them write on the whiteboard. I have it up here free as a Google Doc for you all to download!
