The kids last day was Tuesday and mine was Wednesday....YIPEE! Before they left for the summer we had a class celebration to celebrate their successes.
Our state changed the way they scored our assessments this year, students could earn a 1-5 instead of a 1-4. To encourage them to do well I told my kids that if they earned a 3 they could throw 1 pie in my face, a 4 earned 2 pies, and a 5 earned 3 pies.
Our kids only test in Reading and Math so they had an opportunity to earn a chance to throw 6 pies in my face. I am proud to say that I my students earned 62 pies!!! A few students were absent and I had one sweet girl who didn't want to throw the pies at me, so I ended up with about 55 pies in the face.
I've done this before so I new to cover everything in plastic....learned that the hard way!
I think many of my kids were a little too eager to throw the pies! :)
I couldn't see a thing!!
Do you do anything fun to celebrate your student's achievements?
You're such a good sport! How fun!

Love this - what a great motivator : )
ReplyDeleteGood call on the plastic covering!!
That's awesome Jess! This will be an event your students remember forever! I feel bad for the next teacher-you know they'll want them to offer the same incentive! :) Thanks for sharing and linking up!
