START OF YEAR: Leaping into ____ grade! OR Look who's hopping their way into ____ grade. Put students names on Frogs and put little lily pads and cattails around on the board. READING: Leap into a good book! OR
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT: If you use a level system for classroom management, why not make a lily pad for each level and move the frogs from lily pad to lily pad, if need be. CLASS REWARD: For a "whole class" reward system, like marbles in a jar," call it "Feed the Frog" and put up a large cutout of a frog with a big mouth. Draw a grid in his mouth. Buy those inexpesive little plastic flies and fill the grid each time the class earns it. When it's full, host a special party, movie, etc. (Or Call it F.R.O.G. awards... For Reaching Our Goal) More ideas... Call the morning activity "Leap of the Day" or "Morning Leap" Put a picture of a frog on your background screen of your computer. Showcase student work on a bulletin board labeled "Frog-tastic Work!!" For a classroom pet, get a little frog! Tree frogs and fire-bellied toads make nice pets. Make student nametags that say "______'s Pad!" Have a student of the week bulletin board labeled: "Look who's leaping their way to success!" I have seen many adorable rubber stamps with frogs on them at craft stores. A lot of them have teacher messages on them like "Great work!" That's all I can think of at the moment! Frogs are a lot of fun! Best of luck with your theme. Krissy
