It's almost the end of the school year! We all need some encouragement. Here's an idea I use in my first grade classroom throughout the year. At the end of the day I choose one boy and one girl. I choose those who have behaved and completed all of their work.
I give them each a set of pom poms. ( I bought each set for a dollar at the discount store.) They walk around the room and stand by someone they think has done a great job at school. They shake the pom poms and cheer while the class recites our Yahoo Cheer 2 times.
We clap for those students. I remind them that tomorrow I will choose two more students who have behaved and completed all of their work. The students can't wait to have a turn to shake the pom poms. This really helps with classroom behavior and positive attitudes toward each other.

Yahoo! I am proud of you!
