awards
By tia

Clip to ScrapBook   
i teach 6th and we have a 6th grade ceremony at the end of the year--we have elected 6th grade speakers, a powerpoint pictures from throughout the year presentation, cake and punch, and personalized awards for each student.
(some years we have 90 students to come up with awards for!)

i realize my posting is a bit late, but you could keep it in mind...

my colleagues and i start looking for goofy things the first week of school--we departmentalize, so we see each other's students every day. when we hear/see something good, we tell each other and write it down--this year we gave an award to a kid who

fell over big time in math--it was all over 6th grade by the end of the day--"Head Over Heels for Math"; one student who had a tooth chipped while on a school skiing field trip--"Most Original Facial Injury"; one kid who accels in anything physical (except the hand jive he had to do during a music program)--"Most Coordinated".

when we give these awards, the teachers always tell a 5-10 second story so that students can be thinking about who it is and it gives the parents a little insight!

i save my list of awards, so now have several sheets of ideas to pull from--the best awards are those that are truly personalized, but it's nice to have some to fall back on: Brightest Smile, The Thinker, Soccer Stud....
