Brag Tags

This year I'm trying a new thing in my classroom. I use Class Dojo as a my method of behavior management.

This year I want to try and combine that with the use of Brag Tags. If you are new to Brag Tags(like myself) think of them as little badges of honor. They are little laminated tags that the students will earn and the will get to wear on Fridays. I like them because I feel like they are going to focus on character and academic strengths. If you want to see more search https://www.pinterest.com/explore/brag-tags/ for lots of good stuff!

Love this post about them!

Lunchbox Spot

I keep a small shelf outside my classroom door so that all the children have their lunchboxes in one convenient spot. The small wooden shelf that I've been using needed a little love so I broke out the paint.

I can't wait to see how it looks in the hallway!
