Spark Student Motivation Saturday: Door Hangers

It's time for Spark Student Motivation Saturday!
Thanks for stopping by and viewing all the creative ideas teachers have to get students motivated or excited! Link up and add your idea, lesson, craft, trick, tip, ANYTHING to get you or your students motivated!
 


I ordered these motivators at my favorite office supply store (Office Depot) a couple of years ago and parents and students love them! I hand them out at Open House and explain to the parents that if their child has this door hanger on their door they are not "allowed" to disturb them!

Of course I have to have one for girls and one for boys!
You should see my students' faces when I say this...the excitement of keeping their parents out of their bedroom to do something secretive {READ} is priceless.


I have many parents tell me the next day they went straight home and used their door hanger (I think they want to make sure it works!).

One of the biggest things I try to foster in my classroom is the love for reading, which can be sometimes very challenging, so I will try any and all tricks to get them motivated to read! At school, I can monitor their reading, but at home I need something like this door hanger to "spark their motivation"!

Link up any idea that motivates you or your students-if it motivates you, it motivates them! No idea is too small or too big! :O)
** Don't forget to grab my button and this post when you link up.
While we're here, let's share some blog love and "motivate" each other by following/commenting at least one person's post! :O) I can't wait to read everyone's ideas!
Thanks for linking up!

As the year ends, I'm not sure what to do about this linky party for the summer and need your suggestions/help. Here are some possibilities: motivations for teachers during the summer, plans to motivate students for the upcoming year, things you're getting excited about starting, only hold it once or twice a month, etc. I'd love to hear from you!
Have a super weekend!

  13. I LOVE the door hangers! I still have two more weeks of school so maybe I can try to make some to send home for the summer. I have loved all the ideas shared in this linky and wouldn't mind continuing to read them over the summer! I don't know how busy the blogging world stays, but maybe you could just lessen the frequency.
