Today the unexpected happened. See, as teachers, we not only teach our students but we learn and grow from our peers. I've never been too proud to admit that I "steal" from my peers. If something works in a classroom, I'm the first one to "steal" the idea. A simple trip to the dollar store and some blank lines on my white board, turned out to be the most novel trick in classroom management. Earn a point for working quietly and unmask the letters that name a prize. Who knew that something this simple could change an entire classroom culture??? It did. Thank you to the hundreds of fellow teachers who have helped to shape the teacher I've become.
P.S. I'm okay if you want to "steal" this idea!
