Bucket Fillers

 

In my classroom I read, Have You Filled a Bucket Today?  by Carol McCloud and David Messing.  This is what I implement in my classroom for behavior management.  It works great!  I have incentive charts for my students, when I catch them doing a good deed or filling my bucket, I give them a sticker for their chart.  They love filling buckets, and tell their friends when they have dipped from theirs.  This is one of my bulletin boards to remind that we are bucket fillers.  I made this with a cricut machine.  The background is fabric from JoAnne's.

On the playground!  It's time for recess!

Fire Safety

 

This is my brother Ross Momany (firefighter) with my son Jonathan on fire prevention week.  Its great having a connection at the Fire Station during this time of the month!  My students LOVE to go to the Fire Station and get their pictures taken outside and inside the firetrucks!  They also get to spray the hose!!!

 

Sitting outside of the Fire Station with our fire hats on!  (Kids are in PJ's - it was spirit week at school!)  Fire hats were made with construction paper!

Sunflowers

My little sunflower (Jonathan) is in the middle - with the pirate shirt on!  Boys and girls painted a whole sheet of white paper 'yellow' - trace pedals on the back, and they cut them out on the flipside when they were dry.  This is an idea from a teacher I work with.  They turn this into a headband, and then she takes them outside and gets a group picture.  Very cute indeed!

Okay!  I am 100% new to blogging, but I have always wanted to create my own - ever since I became addicted!  It may take me some time to get it how I want it to be, so changes will be occuring on a regular basis!  Cannot wait to share and upload so many neat ideas I have implemented into my classroom!
