How can I already be thinking about this school year??? I still have six more weeks of summer vacation to enjoy! I have to say that being able to use the restroom whenever I please is awesome :)
I have been doing little projects here and there.
Do you remember those super awesome scratch n' sniff sticker from when we were kids??? Well I remember sniffing those things like I do candles in Target's candle aisle now a days.
I was searching blog land and found a great behavior management tool that made me think of those ol' scratch n' sniff stickers----SMELLY SPOTS!!! I hope you're curious as I was ;)
This idea came from Leslie at Kindergarten Works. Thank you!! Turn chapstick into an easy peasy reward system. I just peeled the labels off and put words of praise on them instead. Seemed more fitting :) Added bonus: You get a lot more use out of these than a sheet of stickers! When I catch someone being rockstar, I will give them a smelly spot on their hand. I also thought of putting a smelly spot in their journal for them to smell as well. If first graders are anything like me, they will eat this up! (a few might literally).
