I didn't have a very good day yesterday. I was thinking about my nephew & just couldn't stop. I miss him so very much & it's kind of starting to feel more "real" each day & that just breaks my heart. I finally went to my to do list of requests to keep my mind busy & ended up with a super cute new product. I am so excited about this I can't stand it! The hubs is taking me to dinner tonight but I am making him make a pit stop @ Joann Fabrics. I plan on backing up each necklace with tie-dye scrapbook paper & then laminating. I personally make them into necklaces & my little nuggets are seriously obsessed with these. The parents absolutely love the recognition they get from me daily. My future students are so lucky..ha!

So if I have a student pick "Wear your favorite hat to school" this will ONLY happen in my classroom IF they give me their coupon right away. I used to let them only cash in coupons on Fridays BUT I changed that & I will let "cash in" their coupon all week … [Read more...] about Behavior Coupons
Student Recognition Necklace Idea
I am so proud of my latest creation ladies & gents! I could just scream with excitement for my kiddos! Please tell me you pass out the zillions of Highlight forms we get just to get free stuff?!? Well, I ordered some lovely field trip necklaces like the ones from Lakeshore shown below for FREE! Well, for the past several years we have only been allowed to have one field trip a year :o( What a waste of those nice little necklaces, right? I do use them on the first week of school BTW to help me with their names & to help the special teachers. Well, after working at school last week I noticed these necklaces I bought from Lakeshore YEARS ago & thought I need to order some more of these, they are looking real yucky...but then a light bulb went off & I sprinted over to find those free Highlight necklaces....YES THEY WERE THERE! Some of you might of had the ones from Lakeshore which are discontinued BTW. I had "I lost a tooth", "Happy Birthday" … [Read more...] about Student Recognition Necklace Idea
