First Day of Student Teaching!

Today was my first official day of student teaching. I began my new classroom management strategy and the kids loved it! They noticed it as soon as they walked in the room and began asking tons of questions. I read the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? By Carol McCloud to go along with my classroom management strategy.

Every child gets their own mini bucket and when they perform behaviors that are extra special they get to add a Pom Pom ball to their bucket. They can also get class compliments and get to add a Pom Pom ball to their class bucket. After two weeks every child dumps their individual bucket into the class bucket and when their class bucket is full they get a class reward! 

I'm excited to see how this new strategy works! I had a successful first day and I can't wait to see what the following months have in store.
