Today was the behavior bracelet and bookmark beads building day. At the beginning of the year I told them that they would earn 1 or 2 beads per week depending on behavior. Then I had to follow through with it.
So all year long I have been collecting beads in this gigantic bead box. 32 spots, every kid had their own space. Today I pulled their beads out and put them into little bathroom cups and they made their own design on the plastic lacing.
I don't know if I will do it again next year. Making bracelets and bookmarks were fun today- and the kids LOVED it, but it was a headache all year to manage. Sitting on the floor made it a quiet task and beads didn't go flying. Just my thoughts.
Sorry the last picture is a little blurry - the kid decided to move after posing.. :)
So many wiggles with only 5 more days of school!
Maybe do it every quarter. May be easier to manage
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Could you make it one of your classroom jobs each week?
