WBT: Smarties Scoreboard Freebie

Happy Sunday!

Just dropping in between summer road trips...

 

Is anyone else reading and enjoying

Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids?

 

This book is seriously amazing and a major game-changer for teaching! I'm reading it with a highlighter and will have to consider another method of remembering ALL the good info because soon the ENTIRE book will be neon yellow! It's that good!

 

What I'm really loving about it is that it's not that different than what I've been using...it's just more concise with concrete examples, plus the rationale for why it works. Love, love, love!

 

I've successfully used the scoreboard in the past, but it wasn't that consistent in WHY a point was earned on either side. After reading all the different types of scoreboards and their benefits, I feel much more prepared to implement this motivational tool.

 

I created a few themed scoreboards to use with my firsties:

I had fun adding some graphics I knew they'd enjoy. Time will tell which one will become a fave...or if I move on up to the Super Student Improvement (Level 2, a definite possibility).

Enjoy the weekend!
