My firsties aren't acting the same after winter break, they have become more chatty and I am having more behavior issues. Is this usual? Are they becoming second graders? What is happening to those cute little darlings I met in August, (their still really cute), but WHAT IS HAPPENING. If I click my heels a few times will they go back to how they were. I am exhausted............. I guess I am going to have to pump up more incentives. I have not really done much in that are, because they were so gooooooood. If you have some inexpensive incentives that work for firsties, please share, so I can get through to June with all my hair intact.

Yes, it's quite common. You almost have to start January like August with rules, procedures, etc.
ReplyDeleteI had a phenomenal class this year but I loved my new behavior plan. I read about it on Pinterest and modified some things and now most of 1st-3rd use it at my school.
