1. they still think stickers are really fun. sometimes i give them out for staying on task or completing something quickly. they are now stuck all over their little name cards that hang above their coat hooks!
2. they can be really mean. talking about each other's moms, calling each other fat & ugly. i haven't figured out a good way of dealing with this but it's breaking my heart.
3. they tattle like 5 year olds. i seriously talk about tattling every single day. it drives me crazy!!! "miss nelson, he's working ahead!", "miss nelson, he said shut up", blah blah blah. ick. just be responsible for yourselves for once.
4. they can dance. and sing. like really well!
5. they love to have fun and laugh. fortunately, i do, too :)
6. they can be really kind to one another. every once in a while i ask one to do a favor for someone and they willingly do it.
7. they are hilarious!
8. math can be fun if you call out a problem and each student gets to write the answer on a mini white board and hold it up to be checked. my school has this as part of math class every day and my students love love love it.
9. they ask approximately 12 million questions. every single day.
10. i love them. so so much. they simultaneously drive me crazy and melt my heart 7 hours a day, 5 days a week.
my job rocks~

Sounds like you are doing an AWESOME job!! One thing I like that my kids' school is "filling buckets". Doing good things, saying nice things, etc. that fills other peoples' "buckets." If you (or students) "catch" someone doing something nice, they write a note and put it in this "bucket." On Friday's, the teacher reads some of the notes aloud and gives the notes to the students they apply to. I think it's a good positive reinforcement... Good luck finding something that works for you!
