February is for Friendship

During mindfulness time two weeks ago we discussed this month's theme: awareness. We talked about being aware of our words and actions to be a good friend. We decided that in the month of February, our class would celebrate friendship.

We have started a new incentive plan in our classroom where any teacher working in our classroom will provide positive reinforcement with a 'pink ticket' each time we see a child being kind, helpful, and respectful to a friend or friends. 

If a child receives a ticket, they write their name on it and put the ticket in a bucket for a daily drawing. At the end of each day, I will pick one ticket and reward the student's good behavior with either a phone call, email, or positive note home. 

When we come together for class meeting again in a few weeks, we will reflect on our goal. Your students are doing a great job with this plan and we already see so much kindness in just a few days!
