************************************************

We will be starting this behavior management tool tomorrow! 

Santa needs your students' to help him fill up his beard by having really good behavior. If your students have GREAT behavior, they can add one circle on Santa's beard. When we add that circle, we all yell...

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

I used velcro to attach the circles, but you could use tape! :)

When they are all filled up, we get to pick out of the envelope! Ohmyword. They are about THIS excited.They about die of excitement. It's the mystery of what is in the envelope that really gets them. Then, I take all of the circles off and we start again!

In the envelope I write up some fun things my kiddos might like in the month of December...

*Switch seats with their friends

*Slipper day!
