Love Note

Love Note

End-of-the-day Love Notes have been a positive behavior motivator since I student taught Kindergarten long, long ago. I used these sweet notes in my Kinder and first grade classrooms, as well as pre-school classes. They work LIKE A CHARM!

The students all want to go home with them. They get to prove to their parents just how special they were that day AND get a little treat. I was always okay with sending students home with candy. I've handed this love note over with a Dum-Dum while other years I've given 2 gummy bears.

And MOST IMPORTANTLY, I explain why I've chosen a particular student to receive the Love Note. If you have a student struggling with an academic subject or behavior, and he/she is making progress...put the spotlight on him/her to give that boost of confidence or motivation to keep up the good work. Try it!!

Desk Fairy Notes

Let's face it! The majority of our students have a tough time keeping their bedrooms clean at home, so it's no surprise they keep messy desks at school!

Check out my Desk Fairy Notes!

I have always been a fan of the Desk Fairy, who visits my classroom once a week, picks out a clean and neat desk, and leaves a special surprise! These free printables are perfect to brighten up a deserving student's day, while motivating others to maintain a clean desk with hopes of getting visited by the desk fairy the next time. 

Perhaps your desk fairy visits once a week, or more or less frequently (up to you!). This note was left with some confetti and a new pencil, but glitter and any other trinket (Dollar Tree and Oriental Trading are good spots to find cheap goodies) will do the job!
