Saturday is our time to get MOTIVATED!
This week's motivational idea is short, sweet, and simple!
Post-It Name Badges! (You know anything Post-It I'll buy it!)
*You could also use regular name tags that say "Hello My Name Is" as well.
My mind is always thinking of how I can use things differently in my classroom, so...
When my students do something CRAZY smart in my classroom I call them "Dangerous" (they love that word!) I also have a custom rubber stamp and cape with "Dangerous" on it too!
These labels can be used again, allowing them to wear them for a few days.
Trust me...they are very proud to wear these name badges!
This sweet gem is "Seriously Dangerous" because she went up 20 points on her big reading unit test and scored an A!!!! So proud of her hard work!
This vocabulary whiz was "Dangerous" with his words! This particular day he identified 6 of our vocabulary words during my read aloud and he used lots of vocabulary in his writing.
This super reader finished a chapter book in one night and scored a 10/10 on his Reading Counts test!
This is just a quick way to recognize my students who go above and beyond with their thinking. They really love it when other teachers/students ask them why their name is "Dangerous," it gives them a chance to brag about their accomplishments!
I mean, who doesn't want to be called DANGEROUS??!!
**There will be NO Spark Student Motivation Saturday next week due to the holiday-Happy Thanksgiving and hope to see you December 7th.

I think my middle school special ed kiddos would like being called dangerous but might not like the badges because they don't want to look "uncool".... however, I will give the dangerous part a try and I can already envision a "dangerous" poster/board! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to recognize smart thinking! Kids need us to acknowledge when they have those brilliant moments. Thanks for sharing!
