Student Sticker/Behavior Chart

I created this sticker/behavior chart to help primary students track their behavior every 10 minutes. If they were on task, they got a sticker. If they weren't, they left it blank. They then had to assess themselves at the end of the day on how well they behaved during the day. To begin with, I had to check in with them every 10 minutes, but eventually, they could check in with themselves. As always, this product is fully editable to fit your needs.

Basically, they just choose one of the sentence stems and one of the transition words from the options on the organizer.

Mission Possible - A Kindness Project Entry Event

One of my most successful projects last year was the Kindness Fair. The entry event I used was called Mission Possible. Students were required to do an act of kindness for someone and provide proof to me that they completed the "mission". They couldn't tell the person that their act of kindness was an assignment. The students LOVED this activity and I had nearly 100% completion rate.

About the store

Experience

After having taught in traditional schools for several years, I switched to a project based learning school two years ago. I discovered that building projects was a strength of mine I never knew I had! Now, I wouldn't teach any other way.

Teaching style

I prefer to set projects up for kids and let them do the learning. I leave breadcrumbs along the way to help pave their path to the learning goals, but they do all the work. Project based learning requires a lot of front-loading, but then, I can step back and let the students learn. I guide them and facilitate their learning process, but in the end, they come to their own conclusions, not mine.
