Today marks the first day of my ABC countdown with the kids.
What this means....there are only 26 days left in the school year! Oh. My. Goodness.
Each day is a lettered day starting with A. I schedule an activity for the END of the day for the students to earn with good behavior and focus in all other studies. I have done this for 3 years now and the kids have a blast with it.
It puts a positive spin on the typical "countdown" to summer and the teachers love seeing what letter we are working on too! ;)
A: Airplane contest day
B: Bubble gum blowing contest
C: Crazy hair day {Shock your teacher with crazy hair.}
D: Dunk the teacher day!
E: Eat with the teacher day

M:Music day {We listen to the students favorite songs while we work.}
