Guest Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 I've just had a new idea, instead of smiley sticker badges. We use these for "rewards" throughout the session, but I have been aware that some children may not get them as often as others- unfair Last week a child went to my draw and got a sticker for himself and handed them out to other children who thought they should have one Trouble was, most of them ended up on the floor. So, I'm, going to laminate a few, get the children to make a well done necklace, and then these can be worn when deserved. I will have them in a basket for self selection. I will then teach the children that they can award them to themselves and their peers, if they think they deserve it. Of course they will have to tell me why they deserve one. All to be handed in at home time, replaced by a sticky one to take home. Peggy Maybe I could have some Sad, Angry, proud, etc necklaces for the children to learn more about other emotions and "communicate" how they feel. Quote
Guest Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 I love it, Peggy Let us know how it goes... Being fair with stickers is really hard because it's yet another thing to try and monitor. We give out special certificates each week and keep a record of those. I am also trying hard to remember to put smiley stickers on to a label so that I can write what the sticker has been awarded for and date it (helps parents and other staff in school). Quote
Guest Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Sounds like a really good idea Peggy - let me know how it works. Nikki Quote
Guest Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Brilliant idea Peggy! I can imagine having to give the necklaces in at the end of the session being difficult, but I'm sure the children will get the hang of it. It sounds as if there is a lot of work you can do with the whole concept of the necklaces - self-esteem, self-worth and self-evaluation. I'[ll be very interested to hear how you get on. Maz Quote
