This video documents the celebration of our first 50 compliments of the school year. Congratulations, Kindergartners!

Boys and girls have received links on our compliment chain each time another adult in the school (other teachers, parents, administrators,etc...) gives them a compliment. I have made an intentional effort to have these other adults be very specific in their praise of the students. For example, if Mrs. Crawford, our librarian, is going to compliment the boys and girls after class, I'd rather her say: "The boys and girls demonstrated wonderful listening during my story time," as opposed to just saying "Good job."

Also, the compliment chain has been an opportunity to practice one of our math concepts, that being PATTERNS. As is obvious in our video segment, the boys and girls have used an A-B pattern so far on the first 50 links. Students also get to practice their counting, as we have increased the number of links daily.

The compliment chain for our class is only part of a very concerted effort by the entire elementary school this year to "catch kids being good" and to set high standards for respectful behavior.
