Does your school or camp have a Tuck Shop? Would your students enjoy getting a treat there? Reward them with a “Sweet Tuck Shop Voucher”! I made these out of necessity after I told my students that the 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners of a soon-to-be published unit would receive Tuck Shop vouchers. Unfortunately, they didn’t exist at my school. I’ve included 2 types, one for dollar amounts and one for cent amounts. I hope your students enjoy these! *******************************************

These pages are useful to have your students fill out at the end of the year when it is class building time. They give teachers and administration an idea of friendships to maintain and allow students to share any requests or concerns that may be on their minds. Since there is often the possibility of split (a.k.a. “combined”) classes, students have the opportunity to write down a friend’s name in the grade below and above their own. I hope you find them helpful! All the best, Bryn Like what
