TUESDAY TEACHER TIP
As a motivational tool and positive reinforcement, both with the students and parents, I give out “Eagle Notes” to my students.
Eagle Note (or whatever your school’s mascot is) is a half piece of paper recognizing what the student has done that is praise worthy on that particular day. The students LOVE to get these for many reasons: (1) immediate praise and recognition, (2) they take them home and receive more praise from family, and (3) collection of FIVE notes equals TEN bonus points on classwork, a quiz or test OR is a homework pass. Trust me, they are highly sought after and desired!
Parents are also a big fan of the Eagle Notes because it is positive communication, not just negative, from the school They enjoy the refreshing break! Below is an example for you to use; feel free to adjust to your needs and add your mascot.
I hope this is beneficial and works for you like it does in my classroom!
