Here are a few things that I found on Pinterest that I have implemented in my classroom.....
Quiet Critters: They're magical!
Quiet Critters: They're magical!
They have no mouths so they don't talk and like quiet.
They want to sit on your desk and see what you're doing and get smarter.
They don't really like to be held or played with.
They don't like their eyes touched for fear of an eye infection.
To be honest the story grows as necessary.
They even escaped from their jar one day and were missing because the class had been so noisy.
These behavior cards work great for my class.
Sometimes I walk around and place an appropriate card on their desk.
When the student has read the card they flip it over and I come back and pick it up.
Other times I place it up on the elmo for the whole class to see, or hold the card up directing it toward a particular student. It's great to have a couple sets located in different places in the classroom.
Some of my messiest students are cleaning up their desk in hopes of the "Desk Fairy" visiting their desk with a note and a little treat.
Whatever works, right?
Thank You for all your hard work! I love all your ideas and charts.

I made them myself. I got pop-poms, wiggly eyes and foam shapes from Michael's. I just used hot glue. (I tried using white glue, but hot works better.)
DeleteYou have some great suggestions. I am sure that I will use them in my classroom.Thanks!

ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to try the behaviour cards. Possibly the desk fairy too. Do you leave an actual treat or is it just the card?
